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.

'In this richly entertaining and surprising novel, Smiley gives us
... realism, substantial and salty, with a transformational spice of
magic.'

'sharp, erotic, artful ... a wonderful, soaring construction'

'A highly entertaining yet thoughtful examination of
post-millennial America, this is Jane Smiley's Decameron, just as A
Thousand Acres was her King Lear.'

'Soaring . . . Sharp, erotic, artful . . . an American
Decameron.'

'[At] the end of ... Smiley's capacious new novel, [the reader] is
reluctant to leave'

'The reigning master of social satire pens a wicked and heartfelt
portrait of stars, semicelebrities, and
sybarit[es]'

'The tone is gossipy, the humour leisurely but acute.'

'Smiley is a uniquely gifted writer, and especially adept at eviscerating the pretensions of the incurably shallow.'

'Entertaining ... as hard to put down as any good ''beach read''.'

It is the morning after the Academy Awards. Max, an award-winning writer and his lover, Elena, are hosts to a house full of guests including their daughter, a movie star, a healer and an agent. Over the course of the next ten life-changing days, they share stories of Hollywood, watch movies and become entangled by the pool. Sparks fly and tension mounts as this unputdownable tale of love, war, sex, politics, friendship and betrayal moves towards its redemptive end.

I picked this up whilst on holiday in LA, thinking it would be a laugh to read a novel set in LA whilst actually in LA. Boy was I wrong. This book is so boring. It has no real storyline and is just dull, dull, dull.
