A bright bit of British chick-lit humor can be found in
author Jill Mansell's latest offering, NADIA KNOWS BEST.
Nadia is a twenty-something landscape gardener who, after
being stranded on the side of a snow-packed road, is
rescued by Jay Tiernan, a rather gorgeous property
developer. Despite sparks between them, Nadia does nothing
because she is involved with The One - Laurie, the handsome
boy-next-door/model she has known most of her life.
However, soon after the snow-event, Laurie suddenly shocks
Nadia with the news that he is moving to America to pursue
his modeling career and thinks they should "take a break"
from each other. Understandably devastated, Nadia struggles
to get back on her feet and providence has her meeting the
handsome Jay again. She goes to work for Jay landscaping a
massive new project and is just about to embark on a
relationship with him when Laurie comes sailing back into
her life saying he made a massive mistake and wants her
back.
Nadia vacillates between the two men, but needs to make a
decision before she loses everything. Meanwhile her whacked-
out family is having a series of crises of their own,
keeping Nadia on her toes trying to keep the peace while
she is figuring out her own love life problems.
Jill Mansell is considered the "Queen" of chick-lit in
England, and NADIA KNOWS BEST is one of her best works.
While this book was released in the U.K. a few years ago,
it is just now making its way to American bookshelves, and
it's about time it got here. This story is fresh, fun, and
fascinating -- all the good qualities of a relaxing and
humorous read -- making it a perfect book to keep fans of
light fiction happy.
Nadia Kinsella meets Jay Tiernan after plowing her car into a snowdrift. When they end up stranded for the night in a rural pub, the attraction between them flares. But Nadia already has a boyfriend, and she’s not a one-night-stand kind of girl. When Nadia and her boyfriend break up months later, she bumps into Jay again. They start working together on a joint venture, but now it’s Jay’s turn to be otherwise involved...
