Jill Mansell's book made me want to go to the beach because of the description of how peaceful it would be to live or even work at a beach. THE UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE is very charming. The interaction of all of the four main characters is wonderful. I don't know which couple I liked better. All of them have their own story.

In the beginning the story line is a little bit confusing, and it is hard trying to keep the four main characters straight, but after getting more into the book, everything is pretty clear. THE UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE is one of Jill Mansell's better story lines. I was sorry when it ended.

Sit outside and read this book with a drink with a little umbrella in it. You will feel that you are really at the seaside.
