Entertainingly frivolous. Freya North's characters are interchangable up to a point. After that point they're good but the interchangable bit could use some added variety. Maybe it's just because these aren't my usual style of book.
Sometimes I read books and think: perhaps I won't admit to this one on my website. I wonder if I could just put my thoughts onto the books page and bypass the weblog page. But there's a dishonesty in that. It'd be like sneaking the News of the World inside the Times. Not that there is anything deeply intellectual about any of the books I read (or the Times) but sometimes pure fun is what you need. And this is fun.

I did enjoy this book eventually - it took me a while to get into. I felt that the start of the book was too long winded - I like to be pulled into a book in the first chapter or so. Overall though the plot was good and the rest of the book was well written. Will probably check out the books about the other sisters.

I got this free with a magazine & was the first I had read by this author. I didn't know who Fen would end up with & was left guessing all the way through.

All in all an okay read. Didn't expect that the book would be that sexual explicit at times. The downside for me was that I found the plot quite surreal. And it annoyed me that the narrator is adressing the reader sometimes, not neccessary!

Very British chick lit/romance - I read a lot of British authors and this one (which I see was actually published in the UK, so not sold in the US - wonder how it came to the library book shop?) still had a ton of unfamiliar vocabulary. And a lot more casual sex not involving the central romance than is usual in the genre. I liked it a lot, but then got bored by the end because I just didn't care about the characters that much. Still, I'm interested in checking out other books by North.
