About this listen

Holly is a frustrated florist whose life doesn't exactly seem to be coming up roses. Fleeing the houseshare from hell, she moves in with Josh, a sexually confused merchant banker; Kate, a high-flying legal eagle with talons to match; and the gorgeous Addison, who spends his days communicating only with his computer and those who worship at the altar of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Holly's desperate to have a one-to-one with Addison, but can she drag him away from his monstrously ugly, not to say jealous internet 'girlfriend', Claudia, or will they just continually get their wires crossed?

Storyline and characters stereotypical and annoying but there were some interesting and enjoyable moments. Just not one of her best books.

Some good moments but not great.

Not one of Jenny Colgan's better books. Such a shame because I have really enjoyed other books from the same author.

Didn't enjoy

I have really enjoyed several other Jenny Colgan books, but this one was quite different from the beginning. I couldn't quite grasp the point of the story, but somehow the main character's pitiful life was quite intriguing. By the end of the story I was quite literally sitting in my car and then at work LOL and getting funny looks!

Overall very enjoyable. Stick with it!

Completely bonkers!

I'm surprised by the bad reviews of this book. Maybe people had too high expectations. I really enjoyed it... I could relate to the main character a lot and we have the same sense of humour, which was a treat. For what essentially comes under the "romance" category, I found it unexpectedly insightful and not typical of the genre. It was pleasingly unpredictable, and I found it quite gripping. No one should be expecting a literary masterpiece of a romance novel but, actually, I thought the style was good and it made me laugh a lot, and if I'd read it when I was younger I could have learnt some useful lessons!
It does show it's age a bit (set in the 90s I think) but that was quite interesting in a way...

Right up my street

Nothing like her other books. Heroine dislikeable. Sorry Jenny - love your other books.

Not Jenny Colgan's best!
