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.

2008-03-13 Inoffensive and easy to read but faintly patronising

The book is very easy to read and has some enjoyable gentle humour which makes it a very calming experience.
The author seems to know his market well and writes book after book for those people. This does have the effect when reading that it is very formulaic which does take some of the pleasure of enjoying the country setting away. It also makes the whole experience a bit dull and it felt patronising at some points within the book.
It is a good little touch of Botswana for a reader who has no experience of Africa but I do not think it is suitable for anyone who wants to learn about the country.
I feel very ambiguous towards the main characters and do not really care what they do, although was starting to warm to them a bit more towards the end.
I did enjoy the language used for the dialogue and it encouraged me, along with the various descriptions, to build up a picture in my head of the characters.
