Jill Mansell books really get to me. I love the humor in this story. Mansell shows that no matter how much you care about someone, sometimes you have to stand back and just let things happen. I also really liked the way Mansell described the scenery of this little town. This is the kind of book that you can just sit back and let it take you away.

I have to admit, I read this book way too fast. Once I was done, I wished that I had taken longer to read it. You know how it goes, you get into it and before you know it, it's done. I loved this book. Buy it, get a glass of wine and just enjoy.
