Sex. There's a lot of it about. And Stella is definitely not getting her fair share. She's got a few handicaps: she's the wrong side of thirty, she's a single mum (to the adorable Honey), and her French hot-bloodedness is liable to turn grown men pale. Mind you, the men she meets are either perma-tanned, tight-trousered smoothies with strangely white teeth or - easy, tiger - balding, poorly socialized podgers. One lot have black satin sheets; the other lot have, well, wives. What's a girl to do? Dividing her time between London's most PC playgroup (most popular children's names: Ichabod and Perdita) and lessons on the art of pulling from housemate Frank, Stella is seriously starting to wonder if she'll ever have sex again.

Not as good as My Life On A Plate,

This review is from: Don't You Want Me? (Paperback)
Don't You Want Me is cute, predictable, and has some funny moments, but it's not outrageous laugh-out-loud funny like My Life On A Plate. I enjoyed it, but was a little disappointed.

laugh out loud funny.,

This review is from: Don't You Want Me? (Paperback)
I read this book in 3 days and it made me laugh so much I cried. About a single mum living in a large house and has a lodger who seems, well.... a bit of a jack the lad. Stella watches Frank (the lodger) having some undetached fun and also wants a bit of the action. I would describe this novel as a very modern love story. Scene with Stella and her past love making catching up with her is priceless.

I picked up this book in Greece a few years ago and I couldn't wait for it to be availabe to buy in the states! It is hysterical. Stella is the most likeable character I have read in a long time. I have bought copies for all my friends and it is everyone's favorite book.
