I've loved Elizabeth Young's other books and couldn't wait to read this one (our entire library system has one copy so it's quite in demand). However, I almost didn't get through the first half - she has many chapters devoted to a murder mystery party which I found dull and silly. But I perservered and the second half was much more the charming read that I expect from her. Worth reading, but definitely not my favorite of hers.

This chick lit book is fun and wonderfully British. Some of the British slang actually slowed me down when I first began reading the book (trying to figure out what the characters were actually saying), but it was fun.

I can't judge this against its genre because I don't tend to read in its genre. But this book was deeper and kinder than I expected, with a likeable heroine and a believable romance. I read it over a very long period, mostly during long down times in hospital waiting rooms, and it held up well. That's saying quite a lot.

Loved the first third of this book that takes place at a murder mystery party. The rest was ho hum. Did like the list of reasons that dogs are better than men. :)

Certainly can't say it was bad, but I got bored at one point. Maybe the more chick-lit you read, the more difficult it becomes to be truly excited about the story.
