Jill Mansell has become something of a go-to author for when I need a light, feel-good book that doesn't take too much brain power to concentrate on but is still entertaining, well-written, and funny. Sure, they're not high literature, and there's an element of predictability (these are happily-ever-after romance stories, after all), but her characters are typically likable, quirky, and fun to read about. I also love England, and Mansell generally does a great job of setting the scene, especially with her books set in fictional Cotswold villages and Cornish coastal towns. This one takes place in London, so the location was less distinctive. I have felt a need for plenty of escapist reading lately and have zipped through a lot of Mansell's books over the past year or so, but this was one of the ones I enjoyed the least. It had its moments, and I really liked some of the secondary characters, but the main character, Miranda, was kind of annoying at times, and overall the story just didn't grab me as much as many of Mansell's others.
