I just finished this! And it was delightful and just what I needed. I kept expecting someone to do something awful, and I had to keep reminding myself, “Emily! Jenny said they don’t do anything awful to each other, remember??” So glad I read this. Is Elinor Lipman always like this? Because I think I may need to read everything else she’s ever written.

I didn’t find The Royal Tenenbaums hilarious, either! In fact, I didn’t really enjoy it at all, which made me wonder if I was missing something because *everyone* around me LOVED it. Anyway. This book sounds wonderful! I think I need to read it. I’m so glad you got stuck in the Ls.

This book was under the tree for me at Christmas, and after reading your rave review I pulled it off the TBR shelf. Lovely, lovely book. What I felt was, wasn’t it wonderful to read well-written fluff? It’s really, really hard to pull off well-written fluff, but this was just delightfully light and frothy and hit the spot. I love Henry Archer, whose last name is the perfect hint of the pepper that spices the fluff. Arch humour is essential in romance plots. Thanks for the nudge to read it. (Hope you’ve found the title that’s on the tip of your tongue. I was hoping one of the commenters had figured it out…)

In reply to Vasilly. I did, I did. But like I said, it caught me at the perfect moment. Who knows how I'd have felt about it another day?

In reply to litlove.

You know, she seems like the kind of author you would like! I only wish I’d known about her sooner. I’m happy that she appears to be producing books at a fairly steady rate — it’s nice to have someone reliable whose books you can always look forward to.
