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.

2008-10-07 Very, very funny

This book is extremely funny and perhaps should not be read on public transport or in po-faced staff rooms. In particular, the scenes in the awful Welsh school are excellent, though perhaps not for the politically correct. The rewording of the famous hymn in a later chapter is also brilliant. A few of the characters appear in Waugh's later work; the name Cruttwell - Waugh's nemesis at Oxford, is first mnetioned here and reappears in subsequent pre-war novels.
