A Message To Your Heart
by
Niamh Greene
Frankie Rowley is far too practical to believe in karma or fate ... and her family and friends reckon that work-obsessed Frankie's strongest relationship is with her phone. (And why not? At least it never judges her for cancelling dinner for the umpteenth time.)
When she loses that precious phone on a business trip to San Francisco, Frankie is forced to hire a replacement....more

Total predictability did not diminish the appeal of this beach-read/romance with a touch of the Irish in it.
Francesca (“Frankie”) Rowley is a struggling literary agent in Dublin, involved in a relationship with calculating, manipulative Gary Elverson, managing director of a big publishing house. Gary convinces Frankie to fly to San Francisco to try and get a contract for Gary with a famous but reclusive writer.

Review originally on I Heart.. Chick Lit.

What I thought about it:
OK, this is one of those books which will blow you away completely, as in knock your socks off and leave you shocked and speechless. First of all, I loved the concept of the book. Lost phone, new and strange city, mysterious texts and a lot of surprises.
A Message to Your Heart is about Francesca "Frankie" Rowley who is a literary agent, with her own (failing) agency. She puts her job before everythin...more

Firstly, the cover is gorgeous – The colours and image was what initially drew me to the book and I was so glad that I picked it up to read!
I really liked this book, it was the perfect ‘escape’ read and I found myself looking forward to the times that I could sit down and curl up on the sofa for a few hours to read the next part. The setting was one of the things I loved most about the book. Niamh’s descriptions of San Francisco were fantastic – It made me feel as though I was transported there...more

I loved the premise of the story, the idea that a mix up over a phone could lead to something so wonderful just appeals to the old romantic in me. Throughout the story there is humour, compassion and hope, everything that we need to escape at the moment.
I felt as though I were in Frankie's head the entire time and could relate to all her problems and frustrations along her journey. My favourite character has got to be Rosie, she really moves the story along and reminds me of every American I hav...more

My original review: http://www.booksbiscuitsandtea.co.uk/...
Even though I have a copy of the Secret Diary of a Demented Housewife – one of Niamh Greene’s earlier books – I haven’t managed to read it yet. So when I received A Message to Your Heart, I had no idea what to expect. The story itself reminded me a little bit of Sophie Kinsella’s I’ve Got Your Number but it turned out to be completely different. However, it is an entertaining and a very uplifting read – if you like this genre and you’r...more

I was lucky enough to win this book and when it arrived I wouldn't wait to start. I didn't take to Frankie at first and some things were a bit predictable. You could feel were the book was going and what was going to happen next but it was still a lovely, feel good read. A perfect book for holidays. I loved the whole San Fransisco setting in the book and it makes me want to visit even more.
Lovely story. Loved the humour, nice and light and one to curl up on the sofa with a nice cuppa. Also know a bit more about San Francisco.
Losing a phone does not mean the end of the world and its amazing what lies in store for us in life if we only take the time to enjoy each day. One door closes another opens

This is a wonderfully warm and life affirming book which whizzes along at a fast pace.
The characters are well drawn and I long to enjoy a bowl of creamy pasta in the courtyard at Carlo's.
This book is better than any tonic - it will lift your spirits and give you hope that there is life after heartbreak.

Brilliant plot for the story of Frankie. Friendship, love, lust, family, work, grief and above all fate. Don't miss it!
This is more of a 3.5 bit daft in parts but I totally loved the places in San Francisco after being there many times...if hadn't been for the locations I may have given up with this one??
Loved this! Niamh Greene wrote a fantastic novel with well rounded characters. A must read!
This book was an easy read and I quite enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be like Sophie Kinsella book but it is different. I am giving it three stars a reasonably good read very chick flick.
Great book with an interesting premise. Look forward to reading more titles from this author.
What a lovely story! I really enjoyed it...now I want to learn how to make pasta!
