Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Aug 2006
From bestselling author Jill Mansell comes a sweet, funny tale of a romantic encounter that throws everything up in the air.

Poppy Dunbar is out on her hen night when she meets Tom Kennedy. With his dark eyes and quirky smile, he could lure any girl off the straight and narrow, but what really draws Poppy to him is the feeling that she's known him all her life. She can't go through with the meeting they arrange - but she can't go through with the wedding either. Suddenly notorious as 'The Girl Who Jilted Rob Macbride', Poppy moves to London. Soon Poppy's installed in the bohemian household of Caspar French, a ravishingly good-looking young artist with a reputation for breaking hearts. But even in her colourful new home, Poppy can't get Tom off her mind. Until she's tracked him down, she'll never know if their meeting was destiny - or if the future holds something entirely different for her...

5.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyable 5 May 2010
By daisyduck1976 TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I so enjoyed reading this book. It caught me up and didn't let me go til I had finished it. The story revolves around Poppy who, after a brief conversation with a man (Tom) she meets on her hen night, realises that she can't marry her fiancee the next day. She does the decent and rather traumatic thing and tells Rob it's all off on the morning of the wedding, but misses her chance to find out if Tom could really be the one. In the ensuing uproar, Rob lets slip the family secret that Poppy's father is not the cold, unfeeling man that brought her up, instead she is the product of a summer fling that her mother had long ago with a man who fled back to his wife in London. With that, Poppy moves to London herself, with several motives: find Tom, find her real father, find herself a better life. She ends up living with gorgeous artist and total man-whore, Caspar and snobby, moody Claudia. If she finds her father, will he want to know her? If she finds Tom, will their relationship be what they both thought it could be? Can she resist Caspar's charms as he flirts and beds his way around London? And so the story begins...
The story was very involving. There are quite a lot of side characters as well as the main three; Claudia's selfish mother, Poppy's geeky boss, her almost sister-in-law, Dina, and Tom, the elusive man who so captured her heart that night. They are well-written characters that all have an important role to play in the story.
Jill Mansell writes the story in a way that keeps you informed of each character's thoughts but ups the suspense factor because so much is left unsaid to each other and so much is misunderstood. I was racing towards the end of the book (always a good sign!) to find out what was going to happen and there were several good twists along the way. I really enjoyed the fact that, at key points in the plot, the characters didn't react at all how I was expecting to some of the main events. It kept me on my toes and ensured that the book was not nearly as predictable as you might first think.
I highly recommend it. I found it very absorbing and I felt quite satisfied when i finished it.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty good for light reading 5 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
It was an enjoyable book I finished it in 2 days! Perfect for holiday reading if you don't feel like concentrating. Poppy thinks she meets The One on her hen night, just before she is about to be married the next day. He is dark, cute and sexy and he likes her, tells her he's a doctor. They get up to a bit but not kissing or anything like that. Poppy obviously doesn't love her hubby that much otherwise she wouldn't have 'fallen in love' with Tom (the cute guy). She is torn in 2, they plan to meet somewhere aftewards but she doesn't but she still cancels her wedding. She then moves to London straight after that and there we are introduced to a whole lot of colourful, believable (some of them) characters. Mansell keeps you guessing till the end as to who is Poppy's true love. I like the way Mansell always makes every character find love and their lives always have a happy ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great twists and turns for a predictable finish 30 Jan 2008
By Sammy
Format:Paperback
The book was somewhat predictable, however the twists and turns within were not. The was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it, however it took me a while to get into it. But I love Chick Lits and this is one great one! For a leisurely beach or bed read - this is great!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read
Jill Mansell is filling a void. Her stories are interesting and well told and the characters are very believable. They don't do things out of character as some authors do.
