Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
"What did you do with the rabbit?" Not a surefire line to seduce a woman perhaps but when Dig Ryan bumps into his first love after a 12-year gap he just can't help himself. Instead of winning her back with his wit and whispered sweet nothings, Dig finds himself faced with an affliction he didn't know he had--he says completely the wrong thing at completely the wrong time. Often. But his ex, the delicious Delilah, seems as keen as he is and it looks like Dig is about to put the something into his thirty-nothing life.

So where does that leave Nadine--Dig's best friend since school? Instead of being thrilled that Dig is settling down, the reunion unlocks her insecurities and she regresses into the "big ginger gooseberry" she was as a teenager. She realises--just when it's too late--that she's in love with him, that she's always been in love with him. And, to make matters worse, she thinks she just might feel better if she gets back in touch with her ex (who Dig reckons is the Antichrist). The result is irresistible; an immensely enjoyable read that will guzzle up the hours and more than delight.

Thirty-nothing is Lisa Jewell's second novel, hot on the heels of Ralph's Party, which sold more than 200,000 copies and was the UK's top-selling debut novel of 1999. Lisa, who is currently writing her third novel, has also contributed a short story to the War Child anthology Girl's Night In, alongside Amy Jenkins, Marian Keyes and Freya North. Her Web site (www.lisa-jewell.co.uk) has a great guide to writing and getting published, plus a quirky list of Lisa's favourite novels and further information about her work. --Jane Honey

The Independent
"Jewell writes with invigorating zest and lashings of what the shrinks might call emotional intelligence - pop fiction at its proudest."

3.0 out of 5 stars Predictable!, 6 April 2005
Digby Ryan hasn't found true love since his best girl mate Nadine didn't want to know. Nadine Kite has spent the rest of her life wishing that she didn't knock him back. But when Delilah Lillie comes on the scene, things change...
Delilah was the cool girl at school, the girl everyone wanted to know. She was Dig's first girlfriend, and took him away from Nadine. She broke Dig's heart.
Suddenly, she comes back on the scene, leaving Nadine's nose firmly out of joint. Nadine is so jealous, that she contacts her first boyfriend, Phil, who was a sponger and compulsive liar.
Then things get predictable. Delilah portrayed as home wrecker. Check. Bouts of drunken jealousy. Check. Pain as characters realise what they should have done in the first place. Check.
A good book for a quick read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Predictable and "samey", 15 Aug 2003
By Ryan J. Price "uselessdesires" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Why are all chick fic books set in London? why are the women always precisely the same? This book was quite dull which plodded along with very little actually occurring. I read Ralph's Party and i enjoyed it, but sadly i was very disappointed with this effort. I don't understand the whole "nice" thing thats associated with Dig, i didn't pick up on that at all. To me he was arrogant, self centered and ignorant. The whole story and the characters within the story were a pointless cliche which ended in the worst possible way.

4.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books i'v read all year, 6 Dec 2001
By A Customer
I really enjoyed reading this book. Aswell as having a good storyline, the way in which it was written was also enjoyable. It didn't just tell the story, it involved flashbacks which helped you undersatnd the main characters relationship. I would highly recommend this book, its a 'feelgood' book.
