I am an absolute Jill Mansell fanatic! I found her on Amazon and have read every book digitally available in the US. I was so disappointed to see all the books that aren't available in the US, so I ordered this book from the UK. I have to say it was a bit of a disappointment. I now wish, I would have chosen one of her other books to spend my hard earned dollars! If you have read her other books, you will no doubt love her quirky characters. I honestly, I can't tell you what it was, it just didn't grab me the way that her other books did. It took me a few days of trying to read it to actually make it past the first chapter, and under normal circumstances I would have just given up, but I wanted to like it. Once I got into about two or three chapters, I enjoyed it a bit more, but it still wasn't my favorite mansell novel!
