Jill Mansell just gets better and better her books are probably my favourite in the modern chick-lit category. The characters are well developed and grow and change throughout the story. ( )

from the new book box, only it's not so new any more. Nice English contemporary romance. Dex and Molly are the main characters - will they become a couple? And some other couples turn up also. Good plot. ( )

An excellent example of a gifted storyteller on top form. Engrossing , funny and moving I read it in one session. ( )

A light by but enjoyable book.

Dexter, man about town, suddenly has to take life seriously when his sister dies and he is left as guardian of a small baby. The only person who believes that he can make it work is Molly, who lives in a pretty country village where Dexter recently bought a second home.

Hoping for help with childcare, and also to bring up his niece in a better environment, Dexter moves to the country full time.

Lots of single characters, who all get paired up over the duration. And couple of clever twists, which it would be a shame to reveal. I spotted one coming, but that is to the credit of the writer as she wrote the character so that one sensed a motive beyond the obvious one. ( )

After reading "To the Moon and Back" and falling in love with it, I had to get my hands on any other Jill Mansell's books I could find. I only find one of her newest "Don't Want to Miss a Thing". I enjoyed the book very much, and not only the main characters story but all the other characters as well. Jill has a way of making everything and everyone connected in her talented writer's web, creating a perfect story from characters to emotions to setting and EVERYTHING else. I adore her books, can't wait to get the rest. ( )
