Publisher's summary

When Nancy discovers that the expensive jewelry her husband's been buying isn't for her, she decamps from the Scottish countryside to her best friend Carmen's posh Chelsea town house to sort things out.

Nancy finds herself in a surprising new world, where rock stars are nicer than you thought, social workers are not necessarily to be trusted, and the filthy rich are folks with problems just like you. Everybody falls in love with the wrong people, and the path to true love twists and turns before you discover who you really want.

Critic reviews

"Humorous dialogue defines well-drawn characters and adds a fun touch to lives that are spot-on with universal human angst." ( Publishers Weekly)

Jill Mansell is always a favorite

I love Jill Mansell, and this story of Nancy and Carmen and their intertwined lives was a great HEA. They could have easily each had their own story as well, and been supporting characters in one another's stories. The narrator was delightful, and the story left me with a smile on my face!

What a FUN story!

I enjoyed all of the different romantic relationships that were weaved through the story and the best part of it all was that everyone had their happy ending.

A Great Book with a Fabulous Narrator!

Not a typical romance but very much a romantic book. The main characters are so well developed I felt like they were my friends by the end. They were all really likeable.

I suppose this book would appeal mainly to women, but if you have a credit you don't know how to spend, get this book! I would not have discovered it if I didn't like Heather Wilds so much I was looking for books she performed. Now I will look for more by Jill Mansell.

I really wanted to like this book...

The story sounded good, but the narrator was just dreadful. I increased the reading speed because at normal speed she was agonizingly slow. She did well with the various accents required. Her voice was slow and monotone. I couldn't finish the audiobook, but would consider reading it the old fashioned way.

Only all right

Two many characters. Very hard to follow. Scene transitions so quick it takes you a minute to realize it's now the next day they're talking about. It was a hard book to get through.
