This romance/thriller/spy novel is a fast, breezy read. Despite some of the most unlikely plot twists, the action moves forward in an enjoyable manner and the reader comes to really care for Olivia. Recommended as a quick, fun novel.

The book was written around the time that the United States was looking for Osama Bin Laden, so this is a thread that ties the book together. The character is not as well developed as I would have hoped. It was difficult to see how she gained the skills necessary to complete the missions assigned to her. You definitely need to suspend belief while reading this book.

After reading both Briget Jones books, I expected this to be funnier. It took me a few chapters to get into the story line but I liked it nonetheless.

I loved this book. It's very funny, and seems as though it's going to follow the standard mad cap romance party line, but it kept surprising me and making me laugh out loud!

A little slow starting, but then I couldn't put it down. Not my fave by Helen Fielding, but worth a read.

I liked the Bridget Jones books by this author, but I felt this one moved a little slow.

If you enjoyed Bridget Jones' Diary, this is similar. This book works like a fast paced thriller with a female heroine, with light romance, and great wit and entertainment. Its a fun read.
