I feel bad, because I really wanted to like this book more than I actually did. It just screams "Look at how fluffy and cute I am!" But try as I might, this one just felt repetitive to me...if Issy isn't complaining about her on-again-off-again boyfriend Graeme, she's just plotting and planning a...
This charming novel is part pursue-your-passion, part romance, and does both well. Set in present day London. Issy is found to be redundant (British for laid off) at her job and takes her severance pay to invest in a very chancy cupcake-and-tea (or coffee or other beverage) café in a dodgy locati...

I love her way of describing places, and with every her book I suddenly have huge wish to live in Paris (because of the book Loveliest chocolate shop in Paris) or in country side after this one.

(Puede tener ligeros spoilers de la primera parte) La historia me ha encantado, si bien quizá se quede en un 3'5 porque su primera parte me enamoró, esta tiene un toque especial de cara a la navidad. El personaje de Austin me ha defraudado un poquito, pero por otra parte adoro a Darny, con sus m...

At first I wasn't to keen on the book, it wasn't until half way through I started to enjoy the story. I think it could if been written better at the start, as it lacked action and you were easily bored but it picked up when she went of to Scotland to meet up with her first ex! By the time she'd g...

Rosie felt like she’d been punched in the head repeatedly. Stephen was lying behind her, his eyes tight shut, making a thick, groaning noise. ‘Oh God …’ ‘Jesus,’ said Rosie.

I wasn’t to know it would be my last evening in this gilded world. I was wearing a lovely dress which shimmered in the late evening sunshine, a strappy pair of black Gina shoes and my hair was straight, soft and shone like butter. It was a warm evening, a time of day when London feels full of ant...

Flicking pointlessly through the television channels, she saw Sleepless in Seattle playing on TCM and nearly burst into tears. Austin arrived back at the hotel sh...
