Book Description

2 Feb 2012

Hope Delafield hasn't always had an easy life.

She has red hair and a temper to match, as her mother is constantly reminding her. She can't wear heels, is terrified of heights and being a primary school teacher isn't exactly the job she dreamed of doing, especially when her class are stuck on the two times table.

At least Hope has Jack, and Jack is the God of boyfriends. He's sweet, kind, funny, has a killer smile, a cool job on a fashion magazine and he's pretty (but in a manly way). Hope knew that Jack was The One ever since their first kiss after the Youth Club Disco and thirteen years later, they're still totally in love. Totally. They're even officially pre-engaged. And then Hope catches Jack kissing her best friend Susie...

Does true love forgive and forget? Or does it get mad... and get even?

Product Description

Review

Manning knows a good modern romance when she sees one. (Henry Sutton Daily Mirror 20120127)

This brilliant story is classic chick-lit with plenty of laughs. 4 stars (Closer )

Read Sarra Manning's hysterical Nine Uses For an Ex-Boyfriend (Asos.com )

Smart, funny, painful and acutely observed, this is definitely not your average chick-lit. Buy it for your sister, your daughter and your best friend, and don't be surprised to find the males of your household reading it over your shoulder. (Livingnorth.com )

Book Description

Sarra Manning is beloved by everyone who's read her - and this unputdownable story about a girl, the boy next door, and the chance of happy ever after will win her even more diehard fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Manning classic! 8 Feb 2012
By loulou
Format:Paperback
I have read Sarra's books since I discovered Diary of a Crush in the pages of J17 and have never been disappointed.
Nine uses for an ex-boyfriend is another Sarra Manning classic - my only complaint is that when I start one of her books I can't put it down until I've finished!
Brilliant book, Sarra Manning perfection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wee gem 25 Mar 2012
By Becca
Format:Paperback
I picked this book to read during my exam period for some light escapist reading. However, I was really taken with it and found that it was so much more than the average 'chick lit.' This is a smart book written with realistic characters and situations and I finished it in two days because I just had to know what was going to happen. This is a big think book that could keep you company for a good while if you want to pace yourself. Having never read any of Manning's work before I am now stocking up on her earlier works because this book really is purely brilliant. This is a novel for women who like a bit of substance to their 'chick lit,' it is not just a silly romance novel. Buy this book - it really is a wee gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked....... 7 Feb 2012
By Sammij
Format:Paperback
Must admit tho - I much preferred SM earlier 2 books - Unsticky i thought was one of the best 'chick lit' books i have read in years.

I think with SM characters - they are like marmite, you either love or hate. I remember feeling like this when i read 'you don't have you love me' and how i felt about Neve - felt exactly the same was as i do about Hope - neither here or there in terms of personality.

Felt like i wanted to shout at her almost all the way through the book, maybe cos i have never been in that situation ( long term partner cheats on her with best friend) and i really wanted Hope to gain a bit of backbone, seriously how many times did they go through the 'I love you' / Am not sure i love you / i love you scenarios. Maybe cos i've been a happily married woman for 13 years i just didn't get it.

But it is a good read, laugh out loud moments, characters you hated (Susie) & loved (Wilson) and i do like the continous thread of using Skirt in all of her books.

Def worth a read, just a bit too drawn out for me. (agree with another reviewer - would LOVE to read more about Wilson.
