A fun read... great characters and the twist you think is coming, doesn't. The characters twist a a different direction.

If you enjoy the Shopaholic series, you'll enjoy this as well.

I LOVED this story! It is chick lit/romance, but it is so sumptuous to read. Fabulous clothes, lingerie, evenings out and a crazy wedding. Browne is a genius with words, at least, in making books delicious to read, by her excellent word choice.

This is a chocolate bonbon of a book. A naive but fun protagonist, lots of brand-name dropping, clothes, romance, good friends, hilariously disfunctional family . . .it's just fun.

First book that I have read from this author and although it is long (480 pages), it is well worth the read. Melissa is what we call an administrative assistant who gets laid off (or "sacked" in the U.K.) who decides to start her own agency offering assistance to men who need help with organizing their lives up to and including being a date. Not an escort, mind you. Her business name is Honey and Honey is everything Melissa is not. The two function well until Honey/Melissa falls in love. Light romance, lots of great character development. I will read the other books in this series since I liked this one so much.

When I purchased this book I was only slightly interested, I just needed something to read on a rather long car trip. Less than 20 minutes into it, I was no longer paying attention to anyone else in the car and breezed through this book in only a couple of days.

A great read for any Brit Chick Lit fans!

First book by this author and it is great! Once I got started reading, I didn't want to put it down and by the middle of the book I practically couldn't! Very likable characters (with some dastardly ones too) and a heroine who gets to know herself as the story unfolds. Great story with some twists so the reader isn't entirely certain how everything will turn out.

Debut romantic comedy starring the conservative Melissa and her blonde bombshell alter ego 'Honey'. Both characters are charming, smart and lovable. Read the book to find out how the two characters evolve and merge and resolve themselves. Original and sparkling !

Hilarious and warmhearted, this book is deliciously addictive. Romantic comedy, Melissa romey-Jones gets fired (again) she she decides to market her impeccable docial skills to single men. She puts on a blonde wig and becomes 'honey' a no nonsense bombshell who helps clueless bachelors shop, entertain, and navigate social minefields, she even attends parties if the clinet needs a 'date'.
You'll love this book and may stay up until 2 am reading it!

I gave this book a try, being sure that I wasn't going to like it. I wound up reading it in one sitting. Very enjoyable chick lit novel, and a cute story.

This was a fun read and very British. I had to look up several words to see what they referred to. But the story is fun with starting with Melissa getting sacked at her job as a redundancy when another company takes over the estate agency. And how she tries and succeeds at her own agency and find romance and validation at Honey. But her family is terribly mean to her and she triumphs over all the slights in the end.

I loved this! Written with a great sense of adventure and humor. I like that it's a series and I've already ordered book 2, can't wait to get it. I love Brit Chic Lit and this is right up my alley.

I loved the idea of this book. A young woman needs money, and has organizing skills and social skills. So she starts a business where she helps people, mostly men, with life issues. She helps them shop, or get a new wardrobe, or she poses as a girlfriend to get the mother off the man's back, etc. She does NOT have sex with her clients. Along the way, she learns to deal with her family more successfully. I loved the idea and many of the characters, but the book did drag in spots, and could have been shortened to be a much better book.
