This was a light, pleasant read. It was sweet and romantic, with an interesting plot and likeable characters. I loved that Amy had a strong, intelligent personality - unlike many chick lit women who come across as bland and only interested in landing a man. This was well worth the read. Minor spo...
The main character, Tallulah is a human rights attorney in London, getting ready to marry her fiance Josh, who is a pediatric oncologist. Their wedding has been long in the planning (perhaps a bit too much of the book focused on this) going from a small intimate affair to a large one. Tally has n...
I've always had a soft spot for books where the characters are English ever since I read the Shopaholic series. Hearing them use words like "pram" and "loo" always helped me to hear the characters accents in my mind. Unfortunately though, there were times in this book where I got a little lost ...

I said, “how was your weekend with Dad and Roz?” “’K,” Amy replied, without taking her eyes off the TV screen. Ben was even more engrossed and didn’t say anything. Greg had dropped the kids off a couple of hours ago and now they were watching Scooby...
I DON’T BELIEVE it. This is incredible.” Dan, who had clearly not picked up on Abby’s less-than-welcoming “omigod,” was now standing beside her at the counter, smiling and shaking his head in astonishment.“I know. I mean, wow … amazing or what?” Abby prayed she sounded sufficiently effusive and t...
For no reason in particular, he turned his head towards the bedside table. Something had changed, but he couldn’t for the life of him work out what. His alarm clock was precisely where it had been ten minutes ago when it went off. His copy of Popcorn was lying open and face down, next to it. Then...
Rachel said, holding her mobile in one hand and the steering wheel in the other. “I love it. Really. It’s a sweet, sweet thought . . . and to have sent it by courier from Manchester. Heaven only knows what that must have cost.”“A fortune. But who cares? It was for you.”“So where did you find it?”...
