Book Description:
To Libby Mason, Mr. Right has always meant Mr. Rich. A twenty-seven-year-old publicist, she's barely able to afford her fashionable and fabulous lifestyle, and often has to foot the bill for dates with Struggling Writer Nick, a sexy but perpetually strapped-for-cash guy she's dating (no commitments-really). So when Ed, Britain's wealthiest but stodgiest bachelor, enters the picture, her idea of the fairy-tale romance is turned on its head. Libby soon finds herself weighing the advantages of Nick's sexual prowess and tender heart against Ed's luxurious lifestyle and unlimited retail therapy. But when the diamond shopping commences, Libby is forced to realize that the time for “maybe” is up.







Taking romantic comedy to a hip, sparkling new level, Mr. Maybe is a classic tale of what happens to one girl when her heart and her head aren't looking for the same thing. With a laugh a minute and a heroine whose struggles in the dating jungle will remind you of your own, Mr. Maybe is a story that will leave you smitten.

I have read a number of Jane Green books, and although she is one of my preferred ‘chick-lit’ authors, this isn’t one of my favorites by her. It was a bit too predictable, and at times I didn’t care for Libby, the main character.

Libby Mason is a fairly successful publicist, living the singleton life in London. She falls hard for her no strings attached ‘friend’ Nick, who is gorgeous but poor. After the inevitable parting of the ways, she is wooed by exactly the catch she has always dreamed of… one if the wealthiest men in England. There are a few problems though; he’s rather stodgy and not very handsome. But Libby is so blinded by how much he adores her and his luxurious lifestyle that she turns a blind eye to many of the troubles in the relationship. Soon she is planning a wedding while wondering if she is doing the right thing.

My major complaint with this book is the shallowness of Libby. It seems as if the only thing she was concerned with was money and social status. I also didn’t like how she was a ‘chameleon’ girlfriend, changing her personality to please the current boyfriend. There were some interesting secondary characters, but the entire book was all about Libby and her search for love with the proper billionaire, and I found it tiring at times. The ending of the book is obvious from page one, so that also took away some of the pleasure of the book. Read Jemima J or Bookends by this author. Those books were much better and had some more serious undertones than this one, which was pure fluff.

This is the first book I have read by Jane Green. I thought it was quite funny at times. The thing that got me was how realistic the main character is. Some of things she did you're like "what is she thinking!?!" but at the same time people do dumb things like that for love and happiness all the time! I'm sure there are people who will disagree with me but I really think Green hit the nail on the head with Libby.

This book was a very easy read. I would say that it was pretty typical. You could tell what was going to happen - but it's a good one for the Subway or for the beach. I didn't really like the main character but I liked a lot of the other characters.

I enjoyed this book - it's the perfect comfort read - along the lines of a "bridget jones" . Engaging, easy read.
