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.

2005-09-05 Very disappointing
I usually very much enjoy the books by Sue Townsend and I was looking forward to reading this book that promised an interesting view on "high politician meets normal English life". However, I was so disappointed that I stopped reading the book in the middle. Maybe the book gets amazingly better afterwards, but the first half is not what I expected. The only brushes the Prime Minister has with "real life" are short conversations with people, who - just by coincidence - all have something political to say. Just conversations seemed very artificial too me.Also - sorry for giving away a tiny bit of the story here - the Prime Minister does his journey through the UK in women's clothes. The gag of man in women's clothes hasn't been funny when it was used in the Benny Hill Show and similar shows thirty years ago and the overuse of this gag doesn't make it funny now. This bit is just ridiculous, especially as such a large part of the story then deals with this.
All in all, what I had hoped would be a witty funny book was far too absurd for my taste and did not really fulfill my interest in reading some glimpses of UK life.
