A Promising Man (and About Time, Too)

Summary: She does it again!
Review: Since I enjoyed her last book so much, I was DYING to pick up Elizabeth Young's new one. Well, she didn't disappoint. Just when you think that Ms. Young is going to fall into the same old brit chick lit template, there's an unexpected twist. When I thought I had Harriet and her friends sorted, something would pop up and make me go "hmmmmmmm". Great book!

Summary: A wonderful rendezvous with romance
Review: The way the characters are portrayed and laid out in A Promising Man is so realistic you'll root for them throughout the whole book. I loved this book! It's about a Londoner who's down on her luck in the love dept. She meets a man who she believes is dating her nemesis from high school and falls in love with him. But will they actually ever get it together? With many mix-ups, misconceptions, ill communication and much deception; it's hard to say up until the end of the novel. Quick & fabulous Brit Chick Lit read :)

Summary: a fun read
Review: This was cute in the expected "Bridget Jones" way. It's fun and entertaining, but doesn't really stick with you. Pleasant enough characters, varied situations with a circle of friends. Good for the boring commute!!

Summary: What a super story.
Review: What impressed me most about the book is that is that author so much care to produce such well developed characters. It is a story of friends not just a love story of Harriet and John but story of Hariets' life and her friends. Ocassionally I wanted to jump over the friends bit but I think it is this full and wholesomeness that gives the story its charm. Wonderfully well developed characters and a super story. Thanks
