Rescuing Rose by Isabel Wolff

4.0

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.
