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.

2002-12-28 Dull but worthy
The idea of a football reference work that extends beyond the normal statistical coverage to examine the issues in greater depth is a good one and initially this volume (clearly something of a labour of love) looks like a decent read.Unfortunately first appearances can deceive. As befits an essentially academic creation, it is written in a very tedious discursive style. The entries are not able to cover topics in sufficient levels of detail to significantly improve upon other football reference works, or indeed even upon the better elements of the football press. It is also presented in a fairly pedestrian manner which does not encourage the reader to browse.
All in all, nice idea but mediocre execution.
