Funny. Silly. Great Read * Sun *
It's a hoot - being also stylish, intelligent and entertaining. In short, it's a classic beach read for the thinking woman * Mirror *
Entertaining and witty with well-rounded characters * Mirror *
If you're looking for the perfect chick-lit beach-read, slip-slap-slop and dive straight into the life of Valentine... * www.sandinmytoes.com *
This is chick-lit at its best, a well written, enjoyable story with a fantastic leading lady that you can't help but care about. I loved every page and was so disappointed when it ended. I only hope Farnworth has more material in the pipeline! I can't recommend it highly enough - a perfect read * www.chicklitreviews.wordpress.com *
