Nadia Knows Best by Jill Mansell
3.0
Eh, not one of my favorites by this author. I didn't feel much of a connection to either Nadia or Jay. It seems that with the past few books I've read, the supporting cast is more fully developed than the leads. Of course, you know how it ends, but the fun is in getting there. This one wasn't as fun. Maybe Nadia wasn't as quirky enough. I expect Mansell's female leads to be extra quirky. And why have that huge thing happen with Laurie and then have nothing come of it?! going back to it with that brief scene at the comedy club with Suze and then dropping it again was weird. Seemed pointless. And considering how the ending felt chopped up and rushed, the book had time to go into that a bit more. The same can be said of the Charles/Miriam/Edward wrap-up also. Nor did I buy Bernie's (?) sudden feelings for Nadia, or why that scene was so drawn out. Did it in any way help her make her decision? I didn't see it...But, the last line about the For Sale sign - too cute!
