Another review I read referred to this book as quirky which I think is a good description. It is a strangely disturbing but at the same time humorous read. It is certainly a novel with a very unusual theme.
Grace Lisa Vandenburg counts due to the fact that she suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. This is a far from easy condition to live with and not an easy subject to write about in a humorous manner. Somehow Toni Jordan has succeeded and although I found the subject matter disturbing ...

This is without doubt the most annoying book I have ever started to read. I only made it to the end of chapter 6 as I couldn't take any more. If anyone ever exists like this woman I pity them! I do not know how this got onto Richard & Judy's list.

I got this book randomly in a special offer but it was much better than expected. Packaged as 'chick-lit', it's not normally a genre I would pick up but it turned out to be a light, romantic read with depth too.

I really wanted to love this book, an original idea and a likeable character. I have to say i didnt. I didnt hate it but i did find that it dragged a bit and that the story didnt really 'get going' enough for me. It was ok for a different kind of holiday read but it is not one that i would necessarily recommend.
