I really liked this fast paced, entertaining and funny story.
It's typical romantic chick lit, that simply leaves you with a feel good mood and a smile on your face!

Cute story, although it seemed to drag a lot in places and I had a hard time focusing when the MC would go off on a nonsensical tangent. Worth the read if you've got nothing better to do.

Rose was a strange character, but Theo was well painted. I didn't see the end coming, there was not sufficient build-up to the final scenario.

the plot of sounded really good bit I just could not get into it! Not to mention all the British words, sayings, and locations that were mentioned in the first 40 pages. Not recommended!

Comment une journaliste “courrier du cœur” peut-elle être aussi aveugle pour elle-même?
Drôle, excentrique et amusant. “Rose à la rescousse” met en vedette Rose qui après 7 mois de mariage se retrouve de nouveau célibataire (catastrophe pour une Madame Détresse). Isabel Wolff est une des reines du “chick lit” britannique. Toujours brillantes et amusantes, ces héroïnes nous font rire et pleurer et passer un bon moment.

Meet Rose Costelloe, a London advice columnist (or, as they must call them in England, an “Agony Aunt”) who has just separated from her husband of seven months and needs to re-adjust to the single life. The single life, of course, requires her to get a place of her own, of which she buys one she cannot afford and needs to get a roommate. Rose has two friends (“The Twins”) that stick by her through everything, though sometimes they cause her more harm than good. She also deals with on-going problems with her job, her family, money, etc. Basically, Rose is a charming, chaotic soul who is a joy to follow and get to know. She’s funny and light, as is the writing style. Nothing in this book ever seems to heavy, though it’s also not too overly fluffy. Even though this definitely falls under the umbrella of “Chick Lit,” I think the story and characters have mass appeal for all sorts of readers.
