As stated by others, this is chicklit and quite well done. It's also British and I like that. I'm a sometimes fan of chicklit but this one didn't exactly get it right in my opinion. Our h is a typical city girl living the life, enjoyed a good job in advertising. She has two close friends that she hangs out with and has a crazy family. One night she goes out and has a one night stand but she doesn't know that the guy is a married, famous football star. From then on she is hounded by paparazzi because the said star's wife is pregnant with their 3rd child. To escape the chaos of her life, the h moves to the country temporarily. This is the story of her adventures.+++ Minor Spoilers+++I must say that I found the h's change from sort of trashy, city girl to a more real person, hard to swallow. I also didn't enjoy all the tacky elements of the story. I suppose the author was going for quirky and she didn't always pull it off. I didn't love the h and that's always a problem for me.It's important to understand that the romance to this story isn't the main event at all and we hardly come to know the 'H'. Anyway if you are into British chicklit then I'm sure you'll enjoy this book.
