This is an appealing book - dealing with Angela's recovery after the unexpected death of her husband and her "mission" to try and find another lover to live up to his ideal (some two years later). Her quest is one thwart with emotional turmoil - loss and longing, laughter and companionship. It begins with her taking her 60 year old mother to a Greek island. And I'll have to say, her mother is what saved this story from being a pretty tedious account. She's awesome - with her mispronounced idioms...more

Dit is een liefdesroman, chicklit met een ontroerende ondertoon. Een verhaal met een lach en een traan.
Angela's echtgenoot Jonathan krijgt tijdens het autorijden een epilepsie aanval en komt te overlijden. Angela is in diepe rouw en wil de eerste tijd niks meer van mannen weten. Af en toe heeft ze een date, maar als het te serieus wordt haakt Angela af. Jonathan heeft altijd gezegd, als ik er niet meer ben stuur ik je een man... Haar excentrieke moeder Vivien woont in Engeland en tijdens een be...more

It is considered exteremly bad forms for a woman to sit on a commuter train crying her eyes out on her way home, this is the situation that I found myself in yesterday when I finished this book. Angela's last date with her husband broke my heart not only was it touching but it was extremely sensitive and beautifully written, for me this is where the story really gets going. I love the mother daughter relationship and for me Viv really brings a sence of light relief with her. A wonderfuly and cre...more
This novel was nuts, it had one heartfelt over the top scene and that was it for me. Then it began to jump around and miss big parts in my opinion. The heroine started off as somewhat of a prude, only to behave in the most sluttiest of ways. Suddenly all these men are coming out of the woodwork and then she's all over the place... HUGE GAP... THE END. I was like what? What the fuck did I just read? Yeah, it was okay but it was nothing better than that.
Just finished my second Carol Mason novel Send me a Lover and absolutely loved the experience of reading this story. Why it isn't a bestseller in North America, like U.K. is beyond me. This woman writes like a girlfriend talks over a shared bottle of wine--with quirky humor wrapped around insight and honesty from a real woman's mind. Her protagonists are full of flaws, humor and that needy depth that we all have as women. The relationship between the mother and daughter was absolutely hysterical...more
Dit boek is een chicklit met wat meer diepgang. Een ontroerend verhaal wat op mij soms ook wel een beetje warrig overkwam. Soms ging het van de hak op de tak maar ondanks dat heb ik dus wel van het verhaal genoten. En natuurlijk met een happy-end, zoals het in zulk soort boeken ook hoort. Een aanrader voor iedereen die van romantische verhalen houd.
I only bought this book because it was on sale for £1 at my local supermarket and I needed books to read on holiday.
It was an okay book and was good to read whilst on holiday. I did like the message of the book: "If I died, I'd want you to marry again. I'd see to it that you did. I'd send somebody for you." I thought that was pretty sweet and was the main reason I read the book in the first place. The mother and daughter relationship was a highlight for me. They went to Greece together and ende...more

Free Book. Enjoyed it. Might be worth checking out other books by this author. Romance with a twist.
So I was enjoying this book until right at the end, didn't wrap up the way I was hoping!
This was a pretty good read, no great surprises but interesting characters.
This was a light hearted read, didn't have to use my brain much!
The novel is good...but the language is not profuse...also the plot structure is a bit loose.

This started so promisingly, it was a real effort to finish.
