An endearing, romantic and fun read for chick-lit (and rom com!) fans - CloserUtterly enjoyable - StylistIf you love your rom coms and know your Mark Darcy from your Daniel Cleaver then you're going to adore this - Carole MatthewsAs adorable as a Richard Curtis movie, as funny as that Welsh bloke in the baggy grey pants, this romantic comedy is the perfect way to pass a winter afternoon should Johnny Depp be unavailable - Daily RecordJoyous and carefree, a souffle of a book that will lift the spirits of anybody who ever daydreamed about a different, more glam life - Bernadette StrachanThe book is a great read and I devoured it in two days, I was unable to put it down, I had to read on. I was laughing and crying with the characters and at times shouting out. . . The author's love of the films came through in the writing . . . they were cleverly woven into the story and did not distract from the storyline at all . . . I recommend it to all chick lit and chick flick fans alike - Sarah Broadhurst, sbroadhurstreviews.blogspot.comAli McNamara lives in Cambridge with her husband and children. This is her first novel.
