A cute jaunty little story. I can't say I connected with the characters as much as I should have, but I did enjoy myself along the way. Barbara is a beauty queen who moves to London to pursue an acting career. She changes her name to Sophie and lands a role in a tv series. She hopes to become the next Lucille Ball instead of the beauty queen she is known as in her hometown of Blackpool.

Just about the perfect blend of breeziness and feeling for a novel set in the world of '60s BBC sitcoms.

I think it's just me. I didn't get this book. It wasn't enjoyable for me.

good, solid Nick Horby characters. Intersting to see them age.
