I picked up a Jill Mansell novel a few years ago because I wanted a quick and easy break from reality. But it's getting harder to do that with Jill Mansell books because they just seem so ridiculous!! It's not the HEA that bugs me it just seems so poorly done here. Perhaps her books have always been this OTT but I was to stressed/unhappy to notice it before.

I still have a few books of hers on my shelf. I will read them as I paid for them but then it's straight to the charity shop with them!
