Aaauuugh! Some of Shari's bad judgment is excused in a unique way (Olivia Joules handled the same situation much differently) but not why she sleeps with a guy she just met, lets him move in, then goes to England with him as soon as she can get a rush passport. I'm a hopeless Anglophile (I put on a Lush hair treatment & ate Jaffa Cakes while I read this book), but still!

Started out okay, and picked up in the middle, but totally fell apart at the end. Ending was rushed and somewhat implausible. Fellow anglophiles will still enjoy though. :)

Started out slow and a little dull but picked up at the 100 page mark where I would normally give up and move on.

I really enjoyed Shari's trip to London and Abbey Road. :o) The supporting characters were very interesting as well. I thought things were left hanging with Shari's mother and Owen's father and unfortunately Owen really didn't develop into a three dimensional character. Shari's Aunt Dot was entertaining as well as the scenes involving the funeral of the skunk.

This book was okay. There was nothing really brilliant about the writing or endearing about the characters. I do not think I would request another book by this author.

Pretty cute and fast read. Not quite as developed as Matzo Ball Heiress, but not bad.
