    This is my favorite Mansell book. This book was a first author read for me. I now like Mansell's book so I'm trying out her other works.

    This is Brit Lit. And it's got Mansell usual with 5+ character point of views. It is a little too much at times mostly because I wanted to know more about Cleo and Johnny. I loved their romance. A I was also wish that Johnny was more in the story. I still liked how well Jill is able to build these characters up so that they're likeable.

    There is quite a bit of British humor that I really liked. I liked how Cleo (limo driver job) drove a has-been Australian soup star to all his locations while he was in town. The description of the little town of Channing Hill sounds like an ideal vacation place. I also liked the karma that befell on William Newman. I even disliked his name. A very posh Mamma's boy.

    I've reread this book a few times now. Each time, the storyline is great and the characters are all likeable.
