I absolutely loved this funny, heart warming story. Samantha Tonge develops the characters artfully so that you really care for them...except for one or two...the villains of the tale!The heroine, Abbey, is a darling girl - the type you'd want as your own best friend. She's funny, loyal, dedicated, kind, sweet, entertaining and a bit ditzy at times. I longed for her to have her HEA. Does she get it? You'll have to read it to find out. She certainly goes on a journey that develops her and during which she learns a lot about herself. Romance is not, however, confined to the main characters and Ms Tonge offers all generations the chance to find love.This beautifully crafted story takes the reader into the world of the upper echelons of British society alongside Abbey - who is, at first, totally out of her depth. This has hilarious results. I enjoyed the glimpses into British history - the house, the evacuees and even the sad story of the castle and its possible future in the hands of its new owners. Add to this the hysterical results of the film homage scenes that occur and the book had me rocking with laughter.My favourite line had to be, 'You're the soundtrack to my movie.'Light hearted, romantic fun to whisk you away and make you smile.
