It's really hard for me to stop reading a book halfway through, but I had to stop with this one. Boring and wordy.

Crazy characters who get up to hyjinks like you would not believe. I enjoyed this easy, fast read --- it lifted me up in these dark winter days. I like Jill Mansell's romance books, even when they have silliness in them--- they are a great break from reality.

I really do love Jill Mansell's books. They are never just the story of one couple, they are about the lives of a town and how they all inter-connect. This books was a lovely, light read!

When times are dark, there's nothing like a good chick lit novel to lift one's spirits. And this one filled the brief beautifully.

Confession: I'd...never...read... a Jill Mansell book - shocking, I know. But there it is. So many books, so little time. And I've remedied the situation now.

So, Staying At Daisy's - my head kept trying to place the hotel in Scotland, but no, it's near Bath (a city I love btw). Daisy helps run her father's fabulous large country house hotel. He's a larger than life character with an unfortunate fondness for karaoke.

All the characters leap off the pages of this book. They each have their own quirks and are masterfully brought to life. And those lives interweave like a twisty turny thing.

As the story unfolds, there's plenty of farce and action - all with a delightful British wit.
What should be a quaint village is turned into a hotbed of scandal. Love it!

I don't think the author specifies, but the time this book is set in is the late 1990s, I think. And it was a lovely trip down memory lane at times (this was my era!). It was fascinating to see how opinions and behaviours have changed over the not-so-many-thank-you-very-much-years.

If you like chick lit you'll want to read this one.
4.5*

adorei este... Jill escreve de forma sempre divertida, no entanto os ultimos 2 que tinha lido dela não me convenceram tanto!..
recomendo sem reservas :-)

Awww, another fun Jill Mansell read. It was sweet and a light read, but a little infuriating. Her characters and plot are very predictable at this point, and honestly, only two of them have every actually stood out to me. But if you're looking for a nice read-- this is it.

Cute, light, easy read. I enjoyed this book.

All I can say is this book was AWESOME!

Perfect mindless beach read.
