Book Description

1 Jan 2007 B Format
Is there such a thing as Mr Pefect? A wonderfully entertaining novel from bestselling author Jill Mansell.

Miranda is thrilled when she meets Greg at a cocktail party. He's gorgeous, he's funny - and he's very keen. Just what a girl needs to put some sparkle in her life. Heavens, he's practically perfect! Greg likes Miranda a lot. She's young, she's pretty, and she never talks about babies. Of course he hasn't told her everything about himself - even the sweetest girls can be a bit funny about a man who's just left his newly pregnant wife. But there's no way she's going to find out - or is there?

Luckily for Miranda men are like buses - you don't see any for ages then three come along at once. She just needs to catch the right one...

Review

'A jaunty summer read'

(Daily Mail )

'A delicious new comedy'

(Liverpool Daily Post )

From the Author

I've just clicked on the 'If you are the author' box and been asked: ' Are you sure?' I thought I was about to be interrogated by a bossy computer demanding on-the-spot answers to such obscure questions as: 'Right, in Chapter 42, what colour bra is Miranda wearing and why exactly does she dye her hair green?'
Phew, it didn't.
I also half expected it to announce scornfully, 'No, no, you don't fool us, you're not really an author,' because I always feel such a fraud describing myself as one. Despite currently completing my twelfth novel, I still can't quite believe I write books...and get them published. Let's face it, lolling about all day eating fruit gums and making stuff up is a weird - but definitely wonderful - way to earn a living.
Having the chance to 'say a few words', via Amazon, is also wonderful. It's so flattering to think that people have chosen to buy a Jill Mansell novel, and I'd really like to thank everyone who has ever read and enjoyed my books - maybe even enough to recommend them to a friend. An especially big thankyou to those of you who have taken the time and trouble to post up a review on this site. My friends tell me they love my books, but they have to say that. When complete strangers say nice things about them it's a huge thrill. I'm so grateful to all of you!
I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but Miranda's Big Mistake is my favourite book yet. (Oh dear, feeling guilty already - it's like admitting you love one of your children more than the others.) So anyway, if you've enjoyed my previous novels, I'm sure you'll love Miranda. And if you've never read any of my books before...go on, be a devil and give this one a try. You might like it. And if you don't, at least you'll know you'd definitely hate the rest! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This really is a brilliant book! From start to finish it has you wanting to read on and it really does have you wondering what's going to happen next the whole way through! I'm a hopeless romantic, and this book is exactly the kind that I love! The end is brilliant, exactly how it should turn out, and I really don't understand how people could call this book disappointing! This book gets you really involved in the characters and their lives, and at one point I actually had tears streaming down my cheeks because it was so sad! This is the second Jill Mansell book I've read, the first being Kiss (which is also really good) and I'm definately going to read more. She's a brilliant author and I love her books! This is definately a book not to be missed out on!

5.0 out of 5 stars I've met the real Jill 13 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
Having met Jill recently I was naturally curious as to her work, although it had to be forced out of her as to what she did for a living!

All of the books I've read are so different, yet, as a true romantic, happily turn out right in the end, which is so heartwarming these days.

Miranda's is another classic!

You will NOT be dissappointed I assure you.

ENJOY

I have to give this 4 stars because when I compare this to the other works of Mansell's, it's not up there with "Perfect Timing", "Head Over Heels", "Sheer Mischief" and "Good at Games" (my favorite so far). But that's not to say it's still not a very, very good book. Mansell writes extremely witty dialog, and even thought her plot devices can be very far-fetched, she can pull them off. I must admit that I never felt as if I "knew" Miranda as I have heroines from her other books. Despite the description of her multicolored hair, I never got a good mental picture of her or her personality. Another reviewer has scoffed at Miranda's ability to fall in love so often - in Mansell's other books, she handles this dilemma in a much more credible manner. I think we could have benefited from a few more pages here - a bit more time to set up the credibility of a relationship between Miranda and Miles, a bit more time to build up the tension between Dan and Miranda. As usual, Mansell does a fine job with the secondary plot lines - her batty friend at the salon and Miles' friend are very cute, as are the hairdresser and the pregnant friend. My advice - if you haven't read a Mansell novel yet, ready one of the ones mentioned above. If you have, this is a fine way to spend your free time, not trash that you'll regret.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Number 2 For 2000! 18 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
A great read

The underlying message of this book is that we shape our view of life according to how we see ourselves, even as those around us are forming radically different perceptions.

Jill Mansell shows once again that she is a fine novelist with a great talent for dissecting complicated emotions.

Not my top choice for 2000. That goes without hesitation to 'Makeover' by Lynda Chater. By far the cleverest, witty and quietly penetrating book I have read for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read 1 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Jill, what a fantastic book, I just didnt want to put it down, in fact I didnt, much to the annoyance of my family. The style is fantastic and I found the plot completely believable, in fact my life is just as complex. I am a real romantic and this for me was just perfect. I have ordered a few of your other books which I am looking forward to reading immensely. Take Care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another corker of a book from Ms Mansell! 20 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I was so excited to find another book by Jill I had to buy it immediately. This one, like all the others, is so easy to get in to right from the very first page, you lose yourself in it - you're right there with the characters, living their lives with them as a fly on the wall.

Miranda is a real live-wire, you can't help but cringe at some of the scrapes she get's herself into - there are funny moments, sad moments, nostalgic moments, but the whole book is one huge self-indulgent moment! I just couldn't put it down.

My only complaint about all Jill's books is finishing them! You want them to last forever! Once you've read one, you've got to read them all!

Note to Jill Mansell: PLEASE hurry up and write another one soon!
