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.

2007-08-09 Different, definitely different

I found this book a very different read to McCall Smith's other novels. It trundles along and has some wonderful comic moments but overall failed to hit the spot in the same way that his other stories have done. My impression is that a book format for this story is not the right media - it would have been better as, for example, a play on Radio 4. Interestingly I saw McCall Smith at a literature event where he read extracts from the book and added comments - this brought the characters to life and lifted them off the page into a bizarre world of academia that suddenly seemed tragically realistic, and thus quite hilarious.
