I'm sure that Gemma Townley must get sick of people referring to her this way, but let's just say it one more time: Gemma Townley is Sophie Kinsella's kid sister! Any fan of Sophie's will definitely not be dissapointed. Gemma's debut novel is amazing! When In Rome is the hilarious story of Georgie Beauchamps, a researcher at a legal publishing company in London, who spends her mornings at work reading her horoscope online and e-mailing her boyfriend, the dependable David Bradley. When her ex-boyfriend, Mike, suddenly turns up on the scene begging her to forgive him for leaving her for a stick insect blonde, Georgie is forced to do some quick thinking. Should she choose David, who is lovely, kind and dependable but lacks spontaneity? Or should she choose Mike, who looks like a model and wants to whisk her off to Rome, but was a completely jerky slacker when they dated two years ago? This same story, written by anyone else would not have been half as good. Gemma does an amazing job at creating characters that you can't help but root for. Highly recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:When in Rome, do as Audrey Hepburn would do. Failing that, run off with your ex-boyfriend, carry suspicious packages through customs, and lie to the person who loves you. . . . Georgie Beauchamp is totally happy and in love with her wonderful, dependable boyfriend, David. So why does she always daydream about running into her gorgeous ex-boyfriend Mike? It can’t mean she’s still in love with him—especially since the cad dumped her so horribly. As luck would have it, when Georgie’s daydream actually comes true, she is dressed in unglamorous sweats and carrying a curtain rod down the street, while Mike is driving an expensive sports car and looking better than Brad Pitt at the Oscars. She longs to have the glamorous life Mike can offer—and starts to think that he might want her back in his arms. But when he invites her for a weekend in Rome, Georgie is torn. David has always said he’d take her there for the romantic getaway of a lifetime, but his work keeps him totally tied up. So she must choose: David, all comfort and reliability, or Mike, all flirtation and butterfly-stomachs. The decision isn’t too hard to make, and faster than she can say Vespa, she’s off to Rome with Mike, full of plans to frolic on the Spanish Steps and sip wine in intimate trattorias. But when David shows up unexpectedly, this roman holiday gets a hell of a lot more complicated. . . . Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I didn't like the main character, Georgie, at first. Her thought process annoyed me. It took at least until the middle of the book for her to 'get a clue.' It ended up being a really good book. It was a very easy read.
I read it while on vacation and it was a perfect vaca read. ( )
