Rating: 4 out of 5

4.5 overallI liked Lilah from the word go, she had a spunky personality that had been flattered too long by her parents and when she finally broke free it came shining through. At 25, she finally takes control of her life and makes a decision for herself rather than those around her, by leaving a fiance she didn't want and running off to Uni. She sets herself four rules, no boys, no alcohol, no smoking and no going home but breaks the first three of them almost straight off when she meet Ben.Ben is everything her fiance is not. Hot, Interesting and a Musician, the only problem is he is surrounding by other girls constantly. This is a bone of contention between them throughout the book even though she spends months putting off dumping the fiance she doesn't love. Finally officially single another problem crops up that causes friction between them. Her final rule of not running off home is now broken as well. Ben and her friends finally convince her to come back and they stumble on through their burgeoning relationship.The journal style of the book and the fact the characters are British is slightly reminiscent of Bridget's Diary but for me that is a plus. Anna Bloom's writing is a pleasure to read. A copy of this book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
