yah novel ini mengajarkan nilai yang lumrah bahwa jangan menilai sesuatu dari luarnya terlebih dahulu. Bagaimana Izzy terkejut mendapati bahwa Simon, sahabat kecilnya, yang selalu dianggapnya jahat; kejam dan tidak bersahabat (plus didukung dengan review media massa mengenai dirinya yang suka mengambil alih sebuah perusahaan dengan kondisi bangkrut serta memecat sebuah direksi dan karyawan perusahaan tersebut) harus menelan ludah setelah mengetahui kondisi sebenarnya dari estat kediaman Simon.

Well, reading this chicklit it likes eating nice chocolate sponge-cake with bad-taste sprinkler (you know, the "rubbery taste" of sprinkler...yeah, it does taste like eat the rubber..meeeehhh..) The story itself is pretty much fun to read, the main character Isabel is so easy to like, and all of the supporting characters are spices up the story with their fun and quirky character.

I saw this in my local charity shop and had to read it because I enjoyed Mason's first book 'Playing James' so much. You don't need to read them in order as it's not a series. I wanted a funny playful story and this book did not disappoint me. I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times and while the plot ending is predictable, I enjoyed it that much that I didn't mind. Typical romance/chic-lit style but I highly recommend this to anyone, especially if you need cheering up!
Boring.
I tried to overlook the parts similar to Bridget Jones (first scene very similar), but the characters weren't enough to sustain the com-rom cliches.
Bridget Jones road to love was not the main plot of the book, it's more of a singledom and how Bridget copes with her environment. This story was way too cliched.

This was a fun, light-hearted read. I liked the characters, and the silliness of the book. The Brit humor was fun, but there were a few errors the editors should have caught (that we kind of annoying). This is a great one if you are looking for some light reading with a little romance.
udah lamaaaa banget kayaknya gak baca chicklit.
kali ini lumayan bagus, cheesy-nya gak kelewat norak. gak rame2 amat sik, tp masih cukup lucu disana sini.
habis baca ini trus mau balik lanjutin baca Last Oil Shock rasanya kudu tarik napas panjang dulu *lebay*

The plot was alright. I felt like it didn't live up to the usual hectic chaos I found in her other books, which I always love and makes me laugh. Entertaining enough, but I felt there could have been more chemistry and interaction between Simon and Isabel.
Isabel punya pekerjaan impianku. A party organizer! Dia juga punya nyali untuk keluar dari zona nyaman-tapi membunuh pelan-pelannya-pekerjaan mapannya di bidang audit mengaudit dan menjadi seorang perencana pesta dengan tingkat stress yang tidak beda jauh karena klien-klien tajirnya. Tapi bedanya dia sangat menikmati pekerjaan barunya, yang membawanya kembali bertemu dengan teman masa kecil dan cinta pertamanya. Simon

When I was at the library, I picked this up randomly off of an end cap. It was a very enjoyable chick lit book! For some reason I just needed a book like this - not heavy, but fun to read. I'll pick up another one by her in the future.
Sudah lama ga baca chiklit, ternyata emang menyenangkan, bisa sambil ketawa-ketawa, gemas pula liat temen-temen tokohnya
Izzi ini seorang perencana pesta, klien-kliennya suka seenaknya, bosnya galak, teman seapartemennya mencurigakan gay apa bukan, baru diputusin pacarnya lewat pesan suara, orangtuanya cuek beibeh
tuuh gimana ga bikin galau
lalu izzi dapet tugas bikin pesta dansa di estat mantan teman kecilnya, Simon, dulu mereka dekat banget, tapi mendadak Simon jahat sama dia, trus mereka kehilan...more

A fun read; Mason creates fun characters that are slightly wacky and very lovable. Though I wish she had fleshed our hero out a little more, I enjoyed the story and Mason's writing.
Fun little light read. Takes place in England so there's lots of mention of places there and lots of British slang, and references to things there;-)
Absolutely brilliant. I have never laughed so much in my life. Defiantly one I will read again and again.
I love Sarah Mason... I love how she wrote the story. Yah, jalan cerita dari 3 buku Sarah Mason emang berbeda-beda, tapi saya senang dengan detail cerita yang ditulis oleh Mason. Gimana ya, susah ngejelasinnya, yang pasti, saya bisa bilang ada sesuatu yang khas dari buku bukunya Sarah Mason.
Well, contohnya, di buku ini tetep ada misteri yang bikin saya penasaran. Ya itu, ada apa antara Izzy Serranti dan Simon Monkwell pas mereka remaja, sehingga menyebabkan persahabatan mereka putus di tengah ja...more

bit boring, long tale -but not too much happening. plus for fun, you will laugh a lot though .
i think it was a really good book to read on a lazy sunday. I was full of humour and easy to read. Once started it was hard to stop. I would recomend it to people who like to read easy and relaxing books
I really liked it for what it is... good British chick-lit. Funny and entertaining and exactly what I needed!
The best part was when Poppet was missing and Isabel spot it at the guess room. LOL :)
Oh this book really made me laugh! Good nice easy read!
A little boring but quite curious with the end
Fun & silly. Total beach read.
not as good as the other ones.
I love Simon Monkwell!
Perfect for what it is.
Clean chic lit. Fun read.
cute chic lit!
This was my first book from Sarah Mason. I have another one back home but I don't really feel like reading that now since it has nearly 600 pages and this book had "only" 400 and the whole plot started like on page 200. Before that, nothing happened at all that was slightly important. Seriously, waaaaaay too many details and telling me on nearly every page that the heroine (who probably looks like I dunno Eva Longoria or whoever) looks fat and like a marshmallow is not funny and/or good. WTF?! *...more
MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH , SO IT DESERVES A 4 STAR FOR SURE
This was funny.
This book was really funny, from Izzy thinking that her flatmate was gay, to her aunt "borrowing" 2 pieces of furniture from each house in her village to furnish 3 rooms in Simon's home. The characters blew me away with their plans, how they think their way out of problems, and how evil some people can be, even if htey are not so smart up in the head. It was a great book, and I was sad to finish it :( But I did, and now it's time for somebody else to read it.
