More About the Author

Carole Matthews is an internationally bestselling author of hugely successful romantic comedy novels. Her unique sense of humour has won her legions of fans and critical acclaim all over the world.

As well as appearing on the Sunday Times and USA Today bestseller lists, Carole is published in 24 different countries. Her novel Welcome To The Real World was shortlisted for the RNA romantic novel of the year award.

In the USA, the hilarious For Better, For Worse was selected by one of America's top TV book clubs - Reading with Ripa on LIVE with Regis and Kelly - as their book of the month. As a result it went straight into the USA Today and New York Times Extended bestseller lists.

Carole co-edited two editions of the hugely popular Girls' Night In charity series called Girls' Night Out - one for the USA and one for Canada. All proceeds go to War Child. She has recently contributed a story to an anthology for the Romantic Novelists' Association, Loves Me, Loves Me Not. Carole has presented on television and is a regular radio guest.

Born in St Helens, Merseyside, Carole has always been an avid reader and dreamed of being a teacher, an air traffic controller, a travel guide or a hairdresser - writer never featured once. Leaving Liverpool for London after a torrid holiday romance in Torquay, she worked as a secretary, an ice-cream lady, a shop assistant and a beauty therapist. It was when she was working in a completely mad holistic clinic that she first thought 'one day I should write a book about this.' She still hasn't got round to it.

This review is from: It's a Kind of Magic by Matthews, Carole (Paperback)

By all accounts, Leo is a bad boyfriend. He's usually late for everything, is irresponsible, and has been known to show up drunk to important events. Emma, loving him but wishing he were different, finally breaks up with him, but is devastated when he quickly finds the beautiful Isobel. Something strange is going on with Isobel, and the effects she is having on Leo and Emma's lives, and Emma is determined either to get to the bottom of it, or move on and forget Leo.

This is a charming book with a plot that will keep you guessing. The disastrous Leo and perfectionist Emma are both very likable as are most of the other minor characters in the novel. A great read!

If I could give this book a zero star I would. The most ridiculous plot and a heroine that I wanted to smack with a frying pan.
