Publisher's summary

A riotously funny story of love, life . . . and the fine art of sabotage.

Meet Melanie and Fran - two charmingly wisecracking young Londoners who simply can't believe it when their old schoolfriend Amanda, Satan's own PR agent, manages to get herself hitched to a laird (Scottish for lord). Who cares that Fraser McConnel has worn the same ratty Converse sneakers for years and that his castle is really a pile of rubble? All the social-climbing queen of preen cares about is the title she'll soon have. She's got Fraser by the nuptials, and she has no intention of letting go. Gentle, decent Fraser is completely innocent to Amanda's wiles, so Mel and Fran, still smarting from Amanda's evil misdeeds years ago in school, join forces with Fraser's adorable younger brother Angus to sabotage the mismatch of the century.

Mel's got her hands, and her heart, full between fighting off the attentions of a love-crazed accountant, dealing with her ne'er-do-well rock star wannabe boyfriend, keeping Fran's deadly maneuvers with the opposite sex under control, consuming large quantities of alcohol, and tossing out hysterical barbs that would make Oscar Wilde proud.

Very entertaining. Laugh out loud funny.

My first Jenny C book. Contrary to reviews I loved it! I'll read others by her.

Irritating voice, immature characters

I loved a couple of other Jenny Colgan books so thought I would love this.
No.
The female MC is scornful of others, uses mean girl attitudes and words, and drunk sexes a guy she is sober mean to. She calls her (homeowner) roommate frumpy and the guy she
is sexing boring (they are both into numbers and will hopefully get together).
I might be too old for this book. It us not funny.
It is all made worse by the narrator.
DNR. DNF.
Moving on.

I wanted to like this book

I've read some other Sophie Kinsella books that I loved and laughed out loud at-this story was not one of them. I disliked the narration-it seemed tinny and unpleasant and I had a difficult time enjoying the story because of the narration. It felt like the narrator was talking too fast. I also couldn't deal with all the swearing and off color comments. There was just so much of it that I stopped listening and wasn't looking forward to see what happened. I will try other books by this author and hope for better luck. I absolutely loved "I've Got Your Number ".

Not great

The narrator sounds like Alvin & the Chipmunks with a sinus condition.
