review 1: I love reading chick lit from the UK. They use all types of slang, like "blimey" and "bloody hell," and have very fast paced, witty dialogue. This was just what you want to read when you have a chick lit craving. About a Londoner who moves to a small England Town, and a certai...

review 1: I wasn't a big fan of Chick Lit when I read this book, so though my best friend recommended it to me, I was skeptical. However, about 100 pages in, I realized I was completely wrong. I've always had a preference for books with a fictional setting, especially love stories, but thi...

review 1: Jill Mansell doesn't disappoint; even when I was forced to break up the story into bits during my guilty breaks from school's nonsense. I am impressed by her ability to juggle multiple characters AND kept all characters' interesting and larger than life. I adored the way she coul...

review 1: My first Jill Mansell and it was a most delicious experience. I actually give this book 10 stars. I can't find a flaw, not one. And so, so many positives! Simply loved it. Laughed (ol), snorted, giggled, cried, felt the tender stirrings of my heart. Delphi stole my heart. I wish ...

review 1: This book is billed as a romance, but the main couple's romance is definitely not in the forefront. It is more of an ensemble piece which I loved. One of my favorite things in a book is the development of supporting characters. I think Ms. Mansell did a fine job of fleshing out a...

review 1: This is by far the WORST love story i have ever read. I don't know, i felt like the book was all about everyone other that the main characters and their love story. Plus, if my boyfriend would of left 10 years ago with 10000 pounds given by my rich mother, i would go out of my wa...

review 1: This book gave me a serious emotions that I think I was more heartbroken, angry and confused than Lola. I loved this book yet hated it at the same time. For me, the narrative of the characters jumped to much. I felt the love between Dougie and Lola aged 17 was undeveloped and we...

review 1: I actually did enjoy this book quite a bit. It was funny and silly and a very light happy read. I wasn't too pleased with the ending. I wanted Lola to be with the Nick. I thought they got on a lot better than Dougie and Lola did. Also it's sometimes a bit ridiculous how far Lola ...

review 1: I couldn't put this book down and with 3 days I had finished! I loved the way Tue characters were portrayed because it made it easier to conjure up a picture in your mind! I feel Martha and Jamie were best portrayed characters because with Jamie we were told he had knobbly knees ...

review 1: 1.5It was all very predictable. Even the thing with Shaun or whatever his name was, I guessed it as soon as he was introduced and I was right!There is one thing I have come to loathe in a romance book, and it is this. The heroine won't go for the hero even though she loves him be...

review 1: Ce livre pourrait se résumer à l'histoire d'amour entre Dex et Molly, deux voisins qui tombent sous le charme l'un de l'autre. Mais ce serait très réducteur. Des moments si précieux est une douceur anglaise, partagée avec des amies autour d'un bon Earl Grey, avec des rires, des l...

review 1: For some reason I thought this was a Christian romance novel. I quickly learned it's not. (Which for me is not a bad thing.) There are a few curse words including one that rhymes with truck. There are no sex scenes, but quite a few people are having fun together. I felt like ther...

review 1: 'The Unpredictable Consequences of Love' is yet another gem from Jill Mansell. In this book, the story is told in Jill's trademark style of incorporating several storylines involving different characters. The main focus is on Sophie and Josh. The story is set in St Carys. Sophie ...
