I don't usually go for romantic chick lit, but I really liked this novel. The main character is very likable and I loved how the plot develops, I kept wondering what all the various nefarious characters were plotting and how Claire would make everything right. There is some serious cheese going on with some of the romance stuff (but as I said, that thing isn't usually my cup of tea). This novel is very witty too and I look forward to reading Harmel's other novels. Recommended beach and bath read.
