Perhaps not the best title, as this is one sticky book. Start reading it and you will find it difficult to put down. I can't put my finger on why it's such a page turner, but I finished the 500+ pages in one weekend (and yes I work full-time, have a four-year-old son, a husband, and no nanny/housekeeper/chef).

The book has a fairly conventional chick lit plot "girl works for fashion magazine, gets dumped, meets an older man who hires her as a mistress", yet still the story held my interest, mainly because the main characters are so enjoyable. Perfect reading for a wet weekend, or a lazy holiday.
