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 spoilers - I felt like it was tied up a bit too perfectly in the end, especially with regard to Amy's career. I like the way the romance was resolved, though. Overall, a good read. I needed some chick lit this weekend. I needed to relax and not think too much. I picked this one up on a whim on my ramble through the shelves at the library.This is the story of Amy, a thirty-something mother of six-year old boy, Charlie. She longs to break into journalism, but, in order to provide quality time with Charlie, she works at Cafe Mozart - a coffee shop on the outskirts of London, England. There were subplots of her parents' and her sister's marriage's breaking up, trying to break into journalism, her friends' and coworkers' failed relationships, and her potential relationship with Sam, the architecht-artist, who may have fathered her child by sperm donation. All in all a decent chick lit novel. Its very British. Part of why I liked it. It reminded me of the year I lived in England.
What do You think about Perfect Blend: A Novel (2010)?
Very Predictable!! Could see things coming from 50 pages earlier!
