Review: A gem of a book!

This book was such a lovely read - not your average, cliched 'chick-lit' at all. Set in London, it is full of subtle, witty humour (that sort of humour that the British do so well) and wonderful, "true" observations about everyday life and situations that every woman can relate to (the scene where the heroine goes underwear shopping is just hilarious!!). The characters are also well-rounded and realistic - not 2-dimensional stereotypes. I was also pleasantly surprised when the story morphed into an intriguing mystery about 2/3rds of the way into the book, involving art forgery, antiques and copious amounts of sushi! ;-)But for those who want the romance, this book has all the warm, toe-curling moments you could wish for. I'm not usually a big fan of romances and especially not of triangles or quadrangles, as this case may be...they usually make me roll my eyes but this story actually had me gripped and desperate to find out who she chooses. Thank God she chose the right man! My only complaint was that the silly girl took so long to realise how gorgeous the hero was! ;-)All in all, a great book that I really enjoyed and recommend to anyone wanting humour, romance, suspense and more! I'm delighted to see that this author has more books out as I'm going to be reading every one.
