Bummer!

I have enjoyed so many of her books…not this one. There were parts that didn’t make sense, things that remained unresolved..

good romantic comedy

this was a good romantic comedy. I enjoyed all the different British accents the narrator created. Very enjoyable.

Very cute!

This story is cute! You do find yourself wondering why Mel has any tolerance for Alex, why she remains friends with Fran, and why any of them associate with Amanda. Casual sex and alcohol abound, so if that bothers you, then this isn't the story for you. Generally, I enjoyed the story, though!

Didn't Love Mel

I have enjoyed Colgan's heroines because they are usually good hearted, hard working young women. I just didn't find many redeeming qualities in this main character. Also, this book had more explicit language then I've seen in other books.

Cute in the end

I'm glad I finished this one, but there were definitely some slower parts to it. Not a "can't put down" sort of read. I enjoyed the performance and small twist at the end!
