I see other reviewers slam the characters, story line and plot development, pacing and American-bashing. Perhaps I just read more UK chick lit than most (I got it from Amazon.com)? It seems to fit a very British style of London-based romance novels very well, my main points of detraction were some word mistakes. I was wondering why the main characther had two mums, was there a "I am the child of a lesbian couple" angle I had missed? Then I realised it should have read "mum's". Plural s does not take the apostrophe, genitive s does.I give this 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for being what it sets out to be, a British English romance novel, with lovely London scenery and nice kitchen references (can we have some recipes, please?) and a very contemporary feel. It's not great literature but for a day in bed with the flu it was a nice escapist read.
