- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Good for mindless girly romance.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is one of those quick read books where you don’t get attached to the characters (possibly because they lack depth) and can easily put the book down and not go back to it for days. I found the characters quite annoying and not in a good way. The main character Anna, is a complete wimp who I imagined to look like some frumpy, put upon 1950’s housewife, not a young woman hunting for the perfect career as a writer and a husband to go with it. Also, she claims she wants to be a writer but is too cowardly to get off her butt and give it a go, so instead is lead/pushed into becoming a nanny, come dogsbody, by a forceful stranger called Geri, whom she meets at a wedding.Anna’s new boss, Cassandra, is a drunken, evil wench with no clue about the real world and just annoyed the hell out of me. The parts of the story that revolve around Cassandra seem to be just an endless list of designer names and sexual bitching that I felt were bulked out just to add pages to the book. As for the ‘dashing’ Jamie, well a goldfish has more personality and charm, although the reason why he is such a wet blanket is strangely revealed later in the book. However, the sudden role reversals between Anna, Jamie, Geri and a new male character (forgotten his name already) towards the end of the book is rushed, and very unconvincing, no-one in their right mind would live like this and is the worst version of a ‘happy ever after’ I have ever come across! All in all a waste of a read and I am so glad I did not buy this rubbish.
