Reviews

Found it difficult to get into this book mainly becuase the characters irritated me. The storyline was weak. I'm not sure what she was trying to achieve with this book. I'm a fan of Matthews' works -Its a kind of Magic and the Chocolates Lovers Club are some of my favourites, but this book doesn't come anywhere close to these witty works of fiction.

Loved this book can't really fault it as the story was so heartwarming - I hate books which don't really have an ending but this does. Its totally girly and great if you are a romantic who loves the idea of the unlikely. It left me wishing I was the main character!

Ive read most of carole matthews books and none are disapointing, this one keeps you guessing to the end and there are plenty of laughs

I have read Chocolate Lovers Diet and loved it. This one was really average. I didn't enjoy it at all.

I've not read any of Carole Matthews' other books - I just bought this by chance for a holiday read on the basis of the summary on the back cover. However, it took me quite a while to warm to the main character (never a good start!) and I have to echo another reviewer's comment that it was irritating the way it was contrived that such misunderstandings between characters occurred and persisted. In fact, I found most of these misunderstandings a little unrealistic, but less unrealistic than the main thread of the story, which was the instant and deep love (not just attraction) between two people who hardly knew each other. I hate giving up on a book, but several times I was tempted. Having said that, I persisted and did gradually warm a bit to the characters, which is why I think it probably deserves 3 stars.
