Book Description

September 5, 2002
Stevie was a young woman who took life very seriously indeed: wouldn't drink coffee if it came from a chain, would never buy a card on Valentine's day. Why would she, of all people, be sent to spend a week with a film star? Why would she, of all people, fall in love with him? Why would she, of all people, get involved in the fame game? Why would she, of all people, send him a Valentine? A Valentine that blows it all apart. Funny Valentine.

Review

"Praise for HONEYMOON: 'The hottest property in town. You can feel success rising off her like steam' - Evening Standard 'Jenkins is a mistress of the smart line' - Independent 'A strong, paoey plot and humour' - Sunday Telegraph 'Jenkins gives good romance, with lurve scenes that are genuinely feel-good' - Mirror 'Filmic, sexy and fast-moving, it will go straight into the bestseller lists' - Marie Claire 'A frisky, frothy, first novel... an endearingly chatty take on flirty thirtysomethings... a very enjoyable, fast, fun book' - Georgia Metcalfe, Daily Mail 'An addictively funny read' - Cosmopolitan 'Jenkins pulls it off with spectacular brilliance. The characters are three-dimensional. the plot is smart, the angst is convincing and compulsive' - Minx 'Jenkins' prose is conversational: breezy and full of good jokes - Daily Telegraph 'Slick and funny' - Sunday Mirror

4.0 out of 5 stars quirky, funky... light enough to read before bed, but deep enough that you care about it..., June 2, 2008
By 
cam (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Funny Valentine (Paperback)
at first I didn't like the book/didn't get into it. but then I got attached to the main character and had to see what happened. about half way through (or before?) it was hard to put down. I would say this book/the characters are quirky, funky... its sort of like Marian Keyes- with maybe an edgier feel? where the book has enough depth to not be fluff but is light enough that its great to read before bed and doesn't pull you down- its good relief and entertainment.
