As a few others have already stated: you either get the humour or you don't. Fortunately, I did, and even now I'm still chuckling as I write this review. I read this book in one sitting - it's short, but it's stuffed with hilarious moments and lines. Marianna is selfish and obnoxious, but it's so bold-faced it startles you into laughter. I also enjoyed reading the funny puns made by her friend, Suzanne, and the even funnier metaphors sprinkled liberally throughout the book. I think Ms Brenton did a perfectly wonderful job with this. It's well written, it's incredibly funny (especially as it pokes fun at common themes in romance books, and lawyers' work), and despite Ms Brenton's successful attempts at making certain scenes ridiculous, it had its sexy moments as well! I enjoyed this book, and as it was recommended on a forum thread, I'll be reccing it to others, too!
