As a teenager, Maddy Harvey was a bit of an ugly duckling, but thankfully she’s blossomed since then. But when she meets Kerr McKinnon one summer’s night and discovers, days later, who he really is, that’s when the real problems start. Because everyone in Ashcombe knows what happened 11 years ago, and as far as her mother Marcella is concerned, she would rather tear that family to pieces with her bare hands than see Maddy associate with a McKinnon. And, okay, maybe Marcella isn’t her real mother, but Maddy owes her so much. It’s Romeo and Juliet all over again. Quick, hide those sharp knives and that little bottle of poison.

Brit Lit At Its Most Delightful,
By Wendy Kaplan (Houston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Falling for You (Paperback)
What a fun book this is, a delight in every way. Jill Mansell is one of those Brit Lit authors whose books you cannot resist and cannot put down, and "Falling For You" is a perfect example.With tongue in cheek, Mansell tells us about a modern-day Romeo and Juliet-type feud. But instead of the Capulets and Montagues, we have two very modern dysfunctional (or otherwise) families living in and near Bath, England. Many years ago, the teenaged son of the McKinnon family struck and killed the disabled daughter of the Harvey family in his speeding car. A trial found him guilty and sentenced him to jail, but an overheard thoughtless remark by his mother was never forgotten or forgiven. Fast forward a decade. The Harvey father has passed away, but his wife Marcella, ferociously adoring stepmother of Maddy, Jake and the late disabled April, still keeps the feud going strong. That's fine with everyone--until Maddy falls in love with Kerr, brother of the man who struck down April. And even though Kerr was not even in the country at the time, Marcella cannot and will not allow a McKinnon anywhere near her family. Along with this interesting tale are several subplots involving marriages, affairs, breakups and "hookups"--all told with such verve and charm that one cannot help but keep the pages turning. This is simply a gem of the genre. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Lovely Bath,
By H. Robb "poshgirl" (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Falling for You (Paperback)
I was initially drawn to this book for its setting. Being that Bath is one of my favorite places in England, I was excited to read a book that would remind me of how beautiful the place is. From time to time the book would take me back, and this I enjoyed.As for the story, I dont really have too much to complain about. It was simply a good fast chic lit read. There were quite a few clues throughout the book that did not leave much to surprise, although one possible side story might have been seen as a mystery to keep the reader hooked. Jill Mansell's writing style is really what propels this book. Her language is not so flowery and verbose that one gets bogged down in the words. A definite recommend for Anglophiles, those who like cute romances, and those that just want to go back to Bath even if only in their minds.

I really loved it...,
By ReadsALot "ReadsALot" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Falling for You (Paperback)
Okay, so it was far fetched, but I really loved it. There were plenty of twists and turns, and plenty of storylines to keep up with, but I thought it was a fun, easy reading, summer book
