review 1: I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, as I've not read one by Pippa Wright before. It was a delight! The humour was spot-on for me; not ridiculous, not scatty, not madcap, just . . . right.

So to everyone's surprise, mine included, she sleeps with comedy celebrity Randy Jones (yuck) when she becomes his 'fake' girlfriend. Great writing style throughout and I look forward to getting around to the other book that I have on my 'TBR' list by this same author. less
