Format:Paperback
I was so sad when this book finished! The characters are so real and funny that you want them to carry on, especially Kate. Unlike some other heroines in similar books, she's self-confident sometimes but vulnerable and scared at others, which is far more like real life than constantly wise-cracking, Chardonnay-drinking London-type girls. The way she develops into a strong and independent woman at the end of the book feel realistic, and you're really rooting for her to give Giles what he deserves - and Dant and Harry are both so sexy that you don't even know which one you want her to end up with! I laughed a lot reading this and felt warm and satisfied at the end.

I have never read anything by Victoria Routeledge before, yet this must have been one of the best books I have read. Right from the start you get attached to the central characters, whose development is as much intreguing as unpredictable as the novel progresses. Kate's character inparticular shows an empowering transformation from a homesick fresh graduate into an independent, assured career woman. She learns to live in london - an inspiration to all.

Kate reluctantly moves to London and finds a new life while waiting for her boyfriend Giles to come home from his work placement in America. Her flatmates are eccentric and her colleagues in a publishing job even more so. This has a bit of a fairytale plot but it's beautifully executed with very amusing characters and comic scenes. I particularly liked the accounts of Kate having to plough through weird genre fiction books. A light escapist read but it amused me.

This book was a real disappointment. I normally love this sort of thing, but I guess you can only enjoy a book if the heroine/hero is someone you want to find true love. Read more

Needs severe editing
For a former editor, the author shows remarkably little self-restraint here. Whole chapters could have been condensed into one paragraph. Read more

Ideal train read!

Fantastic
This is the best book I've read in a long time!! I loved Kate and the flatmates, actually there wasn't much I didn't love about it. Even better than Friends Like These!!
