4.0 out of 5 stars
1 of my top 10 (and thats hard to get into),
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The One You Really Want (Paperback)
I am only 13, yet i have read plenty of books of all genres; including the handmaids tale, gone with the wind, all of sarah dessens, meg cabots, and Hemingway (yet i do not have to explain myself). And this was truley one of the best books i have ever read. Its plot was well thought out. And even though it sometimes told you everything without having to figure it out; it had plenty of twists that kept you guessing the plot's results up until the very last page.
Mansell is very skilled in areas where most authors struggle in. Its hard to define who in fact the main character is because she keeps all the plots flowing vigorously while never letting the reader get lost. She has spun the perfect web of hilarity, romance, and meaning! A fantastic read for people of all ages.

Jill Mansell does it again,
By J.F. (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One You Really Want (Paperback)
Jill Mansell is one of my all-time favorite authors, however, I was a little disapointed by the predictability of her newest novel. It's still well-worth reading, but if you think that you know what's coming next, you probably do.

Light Summer Read,
By
This review is from: The One You Really Want (Paperback)
I have read all of Jill Mansell's books, and I have to say this is one of her better.
Light, frothy, and surprisingly compulsive, this is a great summer read. The characters are all likeable, the plot isn't at all challenging, and the ends are all a bit too neatly tied, but if you're in the mood for a good piece of chick-lit that's not too taxing on your intellect, give this one a shot.
5.0 out of 5 stars
The One You Really Want,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The One You Really Want (Paperback)
It is so nice to read a book that is good all the way through and not just building up to a point where the last ten pages only are good.The last ten pages ARE good, but so are the 2 or 3 hundred before it!Her real to life situations are realistic, not outrageoulsly silly. Even when her main character is not being laugh-out-loud funny(which she is-alot!)its still consistently entertaining. I've found each of her books to be better than the last. As an American, I just wish I understood British English slang a lttle better! 5 stars
