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 this one changed my mind. The feelings I had while racing through the pages were overwhelming and to be honest, it caused me to freak out multiple times. Although I wouldn't consider this "good literature" by the books, it was certainly entertaining and I fell in love with the main character's dorkiness and constant Harry Potter references.
review 2: This book follows Lola from a young age when a great love is all she cares, until her lover moves away to Edinburgh to study. They vow to sta
... morey together and Lola is even prepared to move to Edinburgh if they miss one anothe too much. However her bofriends mother steps in she does not approve of Lola, believing she isn't good enough for him. She bribes Lola with a large sum of money to leave her son alone. On her demand Lola does and as a result flee's the country to live abroad. She nver gets over him and returns to the UK settling into a good job etc. But what is to happen when she comes across her old flame again? If your wanting a chic lit and an easy read this is certainly one for you. A good story that keeps your interest, I sometimes find books in this genre quite boring. Also, unlike other books in this genre it is well written. Mansell has very rich and loveable characters whose stories you get lost in and even start caring about. The book has many features that you, yourself recognise in daily life. It is full of love, failings and that persistent question, what if? less

I enjoyed the side characters more then the MC. I just didn't care if she ended up with Doug or not.

A bit boring, too many sub stories and it took too long to get to the interesting parts.

A little slow and/or too complicated at times, but overall a fun, light, quick read.
