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.

2008-04-09 I'll keep this short...

I am shocked by the number of middling to low reviews this book is getting, so I felt compelled to add my five stars - my first ever Amazon review. While I appreciate the criticisms w.r.t. the peculiar writing style and self-indulgence, this book is superb because of the ideas it puts forth. I have to think anyone who does not like it, simply does not "get it" for whatever reason.

Disliking the book or not understanding it may not be an issue of intelligence, but one of careful reading (or the lack thereof). However, as I suspect is more likely, that to accept the main points of the book would force some people to look negatively back at years and years of their own lives, beliefs and behaviors, which is something most humans simply are not willing to do...and I offer that more as an observation than as a criticism.
