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.

2008-10-05 Mostly good with a few un-Lucky choices

The beauty of this book is that, for those who have no idea at which end to start pruning or extending their wardrobe, it gives you practical numbers on things you should have. I'm one of those people who end up buying five good t-shirts and nothing neat enough to wear at work, so this helps a lot.

However, some of the clothes combination suggestions are a bit odd. A red-and-white stripey t-shirt with a black lace skirt? A Louis Vuitton bag to "upgrade" a puffy winter coat? I may be just a jeans and a t-shirt kind of girl, but I even I wouldn't dream up such outfits.

Despite these eyebrow-raising examples, the book is very useful and indeed, timeless. And I for one liked the fact that the clothes were presented as clothes without being modelled by a person; it makes it a lot easier to visualise suitable styles for oneself.
