Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2008-08-15 Bad A-Level Experience

I studied this at A-Level 13 years ago - and HATED it! I was the only one though, and for years I thought I had just missed the point. I read Pride & Prejudice shortly before Emma and enjoyed that, but I have a real stumbling block with Emma.

I'm planning to tackle Emma again soon - I'm just not sure if I can... Austen's humour just seems to shine through much more in her other works, and that, I think is what I enjoy.

I just cannot empathise with Emma at all - even taking into account the different time, society, circumstance etc. The Miss Dashwoods and the Miss Elliots are just more real somehow.

Overall recommendation: Ignore me until I re-read Emma... or start with Persuasion instead.
