I so enjoyed reading this book. It caught me up and didn't let me go til I had finished it. The story revolves around Poppy who, after a brief conversation with a man (Tom) she meets on her hen night, realises that she can't marry her fiancee the next day. She does the decent and rather traumatic thing and tells Rob it's all off on the morning of the wedding. In the ensuing uproar, Rob lets slip the family secret that Poppy's father is not the cold, unfeeling man that brought her up. With that, Poppy moves to London, with several motives: find Tom, find her real father, find herself a better life. She ends up living with gorgeous artist and womaniser, Caspar and snobby, moody Claudia. If she finds her father, will he want to know her? If she finds Tom, will their relationship be what they both thought it could be? Can she resist Caspar's charms as he flirts and beds his way around London?
The story was very involving. There are quite a lot of side characters as well as the main three but they are well-written characters that all have an important role to play in the story.
Jill Mansell writes in a way that keeps you informed of each character's thoughts but ups the suspense factor because so much is left unsaid to each other and so much is misunderstood. I was racing towards the end of the book to find out what was going to happen and there were several good twists along the way. I really enjoyed the fact that, at key points in the plot, the characters didn't react at all how I was expecting to some of the main events. It kept me on my toes and ensured that the book was not nearly as predictable as you might first think.
I highly recommend it. I found it very absorbing and I felt quite satisfied when I had finished it.

This book is fantastic. You really want Poppy the main character to find her mr right, the man she met on her hen night, but you cant help wanting to her to fall for Casper even though he seems to be wrong for her because although we hate to admit it ladies we all like a bit of a bad un
