This book is written in the first person present tense which made it impossible for me to get into.

Nice character development. Tansy is a drug & alcohol addled witch with a capital B who travels solo on holiday when her awful boyfriend backs out of the trip. Visits to 3rd world countries slowly melt her crusty exterior, and she is finally able to recognize the NICE guy as her true future.

Good book, character's voice quite similar to Bridget Jones (only snarkier). Tansy, the main character, uses her her inheritance from her late mother to travel abroad to Asia. However, things are not as glamourous as she had planned. Throw in some romance, a murder mystery, and humor, and you have this book. Nice, light read.

I enjoyed this book. The main character is a little harsh in the beginning, but I like her transformation throughout the book.
I liked this book quite a lot. You kind of hate the character to start with but she changes and you like her in the end.
Good summer read.
