Millie's Fling
Millie's Fling: A fresh, witty British romantic comedy of finding love in unexpected places | Jill Mansell
3 posts | 18 read | 6 to read
Millie's quiet, single summer is about to get turned upside down... When her dear friend and bestselling novelist Orla Hart invites Millie to spend the summer with her in Cornwall, Millie leaps at the chance to spend the summer alone, recovering from a bad breakup. But Orla has other ideas. Envisioning Millie as the heroine of her next novel, Orla is determined that Millie should meet the man of her dreams this summer. The trouble is, Millie's taste in men doesn't match with Orla's at all. Hugh Emerson, dashing young widower, is the one who really interests her. He is also the one man Orla insists she shouldn't get involved with. With dropped wallets, rollerskating gorillagrams, the world's most flirtatious boss, and a helicopter in the back garden, It's sure to be an unforgettable summer... A fresh and fun British women's fiction and a great romantic book with plenty of humor, friendship, and some madcap fun. Fans of Meg Cabot, Sophie Kinsella, Helen Fielding and Jennifer Weiner will want to escape to Cornwall this summer to find their own romance. What readers are saying about Millie's Fling: "a delightfully funny romance" "comparable to a good Romantic Comedy movie."

1- this book isn't technically humor but it made me laugh a lot!
2- I lost 2 pounds!
3- I would hate to choose! I guess I'll cheat and say "American food" which to me and my circle means burgers, pizza, steak, etc.
4- yes! Like, 17. I think. I haven't seen most of them since childhood.
5- consider yourself tagged!

Pickpick

I laughed so hard several times (I'm looking at you Hester) that my hubby thought I was going to pass out. It turned out that a lot of laughter was just what I needed so it's a pick in my book.
