Story
When Josh Strachan, newly returned to his home in north Cornwall from sunny California, first meets Sophie Wells, he's immediately smitten. Sophie's pretty, she's funny, she has lots of friends, and she clearly loves her job as a photographer, despite the sometimes tricky clients. There's just one problem: Sophie has very firmly turned her back on love. It's nothing personal, she tells Josh, but she just doesn't do dates. And no one - even Sophie's scatty best friend Tula - will tell him why.

Story
On the one hand, if Essie hadn't written that letter - the one that only her best friend was meant to see - then she'd still be living like an actual proper grown-up, tucked up with Paul in his picture-perfect cottage, maybe even planning their wedding.... On the other hand (if her true feelings hadn't accidentally taken the Internet by storm, that is), she never would have met Zillah and Conor - not to mention Lucas. And she'd never have found out just how much life there is to be lived....

Story
When Mimi first visits her dad's new home in the Cotswolds, she falls in love with Goosebrook and the people who live there. (Well, maybe not snooty Henrietta, who lets Mimi walk miles in the rain rather than give her a lift.) There's Paddy, with his flashing eyes and seductive charm. Friendly and funny Lois makes Mimi laugh. And seriously gorgeous Cal is welcoming and charismatic. Though Mimi loves her city life and her career, she'd be very happy to return to Goosebrook if it means seeing more of him.

Fun novel by Mansell
A charming story with the well written details we expect from Jill Mansell
Comforting to know that all ends happily
Enjoyable and full of endearing characters
The narrator’s attempt at accents especially an Australian accent was painful and made the audible experience less enjoyable

Rubbish reader! Great story
The story is fab, I read the book a while back and loved it so decided to get the audio book. I listen to audiobooks all the time but I could not get past this reader. It's quite uncomfortable as its like my nan reading to me about sex and relationships! Very awkward performance but the story delivers as always :)

Yet another brilliant comedy romance by Jill.<br />
loved the story and characters, although I did find the narrator voice not apt for this type of book.
