I'm definitely giving this one more stars than it deserves, but that's because it's so exactly what I wanted to read right now. A happy, cozy book about a village in the Cotswolds and everyone drinking tea and eating cheese on toast and finding love!

2016 review:
Its not that I didnt like the book, the main character (Lily) is funny, its just that everything is so predictable. And some of the characters turn into enormous jerks right after they stop being important. Like unbelievable jerks, it doesnt make sense.

The book wasn’t that bad, and for the most part I enjoyed the characters, but the story was almost too predictable, and once the mutual romantic attraction was revealed, it was obvious they were going to get together (this happens with two different pairs of characters) so for a lot of it I was just urging the story to get on with it. Having said that, there were a few good moments - Dan just being a cocky ladies man was endearing, the ending was rather sweet,

Absolutely adorable book, totally fell in love with this super romantic comedy by Jill Mansell.
Lily and Dan are adorable as a young couple who grew up together and Coral and Patsy are friends you'd definitely want to have.
This book is simply heartwarming and utterly uplifting with a real feel good factor and I felt utterly content reading it.
It's beautifully written and easy to read.
A quick read too, it took me about three hours over two evenings
