Robert Webb (2) (1972–)

If you knew what the future held, would you still want to follow the same path?

Think Groundhog's Day. Just when it seems like Kate has hit rock bottom, she wakes up and finds that she has a chance to redo 20 years of her life. With great power, comes difficult decisions. Will Kate fall in love with her husband again? Will she try to save his life or let the cards fall as they are?

This sweet romance gave me the feels and brought up difficult questions. It was almost too much Groundhog's Day for me - done again and again.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this and give my honest opinion.… (meer)

I guess my introduction to this book did taint me somewhat as I had been led to believe it was a takedown of toxic masculinity. It's not.

It's a pretty readable autobiography of someone who did some boy things and some things boys don't do, but it's the Guardian "oh that's nice" version of tackling masculinity rather than anything truly reflective or groundbreaking.

As it stands, it's a very readable, enjoyable autobiography of a man who worked hard to get to Oxbridge, and had some difficulty in the way. And then the final chapter is a essay on what needs to be done to reach table stakes in dealing with gender equality.

I can see why this sounds worthy to Guardian readers and revolutionary to others, but it's an autobiography. Anyone familiar with the shows Webb has written will be familiar with the self-defacing, gentle style, with the occasional curve ball, and it succeeds at fleshing out the man behind those shows.

Just don't expect it to change your world.… (meer)
