Review: Not particularly funny

This book is billed as an Irish romantic comedy but I didn't find it funny really. It isn't a particularly romantic story either. The h is recently divorced and inherits a house, which is dilapidated and needs lots of work. At the beginning the h was leaning towards selling it but she slowly falls in love with it and the Irish village where it is located. She sort of falls into a relationship with her solicitor. She also becomes friends with a gorgeous neighbouring farmer, who is always there for her when she needs help. There are also all sorts of secondary characters who are quite interesting.***Spoilers***The h spent most of her time and energy on Dan, her solicitor. The H is in relationship with his ex-fiance. Both of these things happen after they originally meet each other. In fact the H gets back together with his ex long after he and the h had become good friends. I can't stand it in a book when the main characters spend most of their time with other people and only come together at the end of the book. Truthfully when there was the misunderstanding at the end and they both went their own ways, I thought it was a good thing. The relationship couldn't even handle one problem so what were the chances of a hea?On the up side I really enjoyed reading something written by a British author in a different location. The book is nicely written and isn't full of stupid mistakes.
