Samantha Steel is a driven advertising professional in some big city, living in a perfect minimalist white flat, with a feminist mother, a father who's a housewife, and a sister who used to be a lesbian.  She and her best friends, Lizzie and Mands, eat out together all the time, frequent nightclubs, and enjoy the single life.  Until the night she takes a handsome stranger named Alistair home, and finds herself on the front page of every newspaper, billed as a homewrecker, because Alistair turns out to be the star of the football team, and married.  After a couple of months of paparazzi harassment, Mands and Lizzie smuggle Sam out of the city, to Mands' uncle's very rustic cabin.  Her horror at the town is hilarious, her reaction to everything from the bugs to making a fire to keep warm, and her laborious attempts to learn basic things like cooking are laugh out loud funny.  This book was a lot of fun.
