Customer Reviews

Funny, Sweet, Inspiring and Romantic

This is one of the few romance novels I've read that I truly can relate to the main character. I believe Natalie is someone we can all relate to. She moves to the city to shake up her life and figuratively create a whole new persona. However, she does this literally by opening mail of the previous tenant, Cressida, and adopting her glamorous and sophisticated lifestyle. With a little "dutch courage", Natalie calls a man introduced in one of Cressida's letters and falls madly in love, but as Cressida. Although it seems farfetched, Gemma Townley does a wonderful job with the story line and the whole plot falls right into place. At the end, it felt like it could happen to anyone of us. The story is both funny and romantic and just a bit inspirational. I absolutely adored it and will rush to pick up Gemma's other book.

Lots of fun and many smiles to be had.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. All of the characters were very enjoyable and Natalie aka: Cressida was a gas! Such a girlfriend! She was believable, at least in my world!, and I could totally see myself falling into the same kind of trouble she got herself into time and time again. ... it was such a small little twist of the truth! I giggled alot throughout this book! Now I've ordered the other books by this author to see if I get the same reaction! I give this book 5 starz and I surely wouldn't mind a sequel!!! JMHO //(*_*)\\

Little White Lies.... turned out to be no problem

This book was very refreshing and I could hardly put it down! Cressida, I mean Natalie, was very down to earth and darling. Who hasn't told a little white lie in their life? My 21 YO niece lent me this book (I share with her my Sophie Kinsella books - who recommended this book) and I am glad. I can hardly wait to read When in Rome!

Awesome!

This is a great book - it kept me laughing and crying all the way through, and okay it isnt entirely believbable but who cares when it's this myuch fun. Natalie is just someone who's searching for answers and it's a real hoot watching her as one little lie leads to another... and then another... I'm looking forward to the next book from this author now!

great book!

I loved this book. It was light and easy and very ammusing. I honestly didn't want it to end. I loved the characters and everything about the book. I definately reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys chick lit
