Choosing between two guys has never been so glamorous!

Georgie Beauchamp is happy and comfortable in her relationship with David. He's smart and sensitive and Georgie loves the feeling of security she has with him. But she can't seem to keep her mind off of her charming, sexy, spontaneous ex, Mike, who's suddenly re-entered her life, and now wants her back! Suddenly, he invites her to Rome on a weekend getaway. Georgie is hesitant at first, but David's crazy work schedule keeps him at the office constantly, prompting her to accept Mike's offer, despite the fact that David has always promised he'd take her there on their own Audrey Hepburn-inspired Roman Holiday. Soon enough, Georgie jets off to Rome with her ex. While there, David pops up! This makes for an interesting trip that Georgie will never forget... This novel combines romance and detective work all melted into one to make a fun, sparkly, refreshing read. Highly recommended. You'll enjoy this one!

Funny, Cute, Exciting

Just finished the book and it was pretty good. I dont have that much time for casual reading, but when I picked up this book I couldn't put it down! Highly recommend this book for fantastic weekend reading =o)

So funny!

I started reading this in the book store and just couldn't stop - this is such a funny book, and very warm. I don't usually read chick lit but I just kept turning the pages... the plot did get a little silly from time to time, but the style is so engaging you don't mind.

SO FUNNY!!

I loved this book! The heroine Georgie is a delight, so irreverant and real, and the settings of Rome and London are delicious, the plot is fast and funny and I was whipping over the pages so fast, I finished it in a day. Fabulous!!!

Fun!

I really enjoyed this novel. It's fun, easy to get into, and was great to read on the subway. Georgie is a little crazy, but her adventures in London and Rome kept me entertained. Perfect for fans of Clare Naylor, Sophie Kinsella, or Bridget Jones.
