However, this is the first chick-lit book that I have read, maybe that was why I was too harsh. I can't believe I wrote such a long review of such insignificant book. She can really make really funny witty remarks, that I must admit, but one must understand that there had to be some kind of balance, if you tell jokes all the time people would get tired. God what an end, what was missing is a forgotten Aunt who died in Tasmania and left to our heroine large amount of money. I couldn't refrain myself from time to time of shouting: Oh really, for Christ sake woman! Characters are so unrealistic. So this reminded me so much of those short novels, just this one wasted more paper. We used to take those to the beach for lite reading. Wow! When I was a teenage girl this was called a romantic short novel and never had more than 40 pages. I read this book because it was a present from my very good friend and as she recommended it I was really looking forward to reading it because I consider her as a very intelligent woman.

(Although her husband says he should have the affair as it would give her a better book!) She lives in London with her husband and two children and has just finished a stint as writer in Residence at London's Savoy Hotel.
