It all starts at a party, as these things often do...A one-night stand with far-reaching consequences. Momentarily enamored guests going home with all the wrong people. An unfaithful wife struck by jealousy and getting a dose of her own medicine. A shocking family secret revealed at the worst possible moment. One fling follows another, and now the whole community is embroiled in a great big web of deceit, the untangling of which will charm you, amuse you, make you laugh, and make you cry. Whatever's going on in your life, Solo by Jill Mansell is the perfect distraction.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17
Lou is reeling from a triple whammy of shocks that have left her loveless, jobless and almost homeless. Staying for a night with an old friend in the Cotswold village of Foxwell, she lends a helping hand to a spectacularly ungrateful older man with a reputation in the village for being a 'character'. When Edgar makes a suggestion that would solve two out of three of Lou's problems in one fell swoop, it's hard to resist. Especially as the return to the village of the very attractive Remy—not that he's even noticed Lou!—makes it an unusually appealing place to live.

Publisher's summary
Jill Mansell's hugely entertaining best seller Good at Games is perfect for you if you love listening to Cathy Kelly, Milly Johnson and Lucy Diamond.
Suzy fell for Harry the moment she showed him her husband's sperm sample. It didn't really belong to her husband, though, because she wasn't married. It wasn't a sperm sample, either, it was a drinks carton containing the dregs of her milkshake.
But when you're trying to get off a speeding charge, you just have to improvise, don't you? And it wasn't actually love at first sight. Still, it was undeniably a healthy attack of lust. And it might just be the beginning of something special....

Emma has a job in television which is distinctly less glamourous and exciting than it sounds. She's managed to claw her way up the ranks from Tea Maker and Rubbish Collector to Second Assistant Director (heavy on the assistant. Even heavier on the second.). So when she finds she's accidentally very pregnant and at the same time accidentally very sacked (well, less accidentally: she did tell her boss to stick his job up his bum), she knows things are going to have to change.

Not worth a credit
I never expected to dislike a Jill Mansell book. However, I was disappointed in this book. The main character, Suzy, was not a likeable person. She was self centred insincere and immature. The book was totally ridiculous.
I kept going back trying to get into it but gave up nobody would be as stupid as Suzie. I just can't finish it. It must be very old book republished as her later books are great she is one my favourite authors and I have most of Jill Mansells books.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
