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.

2008-06-09 A good start to the series.

The story is a bit simplistic, dealing mainly with the good / evil duality inside everyone. Angels and demons may not always be what they appear in this book, but that even is not very original. However, it is an enjoyable manga especially since the graphics are really beautiful. That's what makes it attractive to me. The scenery, characters and page settings are really lush. It's a real treat for the eyes. I wish it was in colour !

Also there is little yaoi material here. The attraction and feelings between the main characters are suggested but not really shown, so if romance and graphic hot scenes is mainly what you are after, I would not recommend this manga.

Finally the story is a bit short and the following (filler) story is not as nicely drawn, but overall it is a nice start for a series. I've been eager to read the next volume as soon as I was finished reading the first one. That sums it up ...
