Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Juliet is sitting in a restaurant on a rainy Valentine's Day waiting for her boyfriend, Will, but he doesn't show. Furious, she leaves after waiting more than an hour and is promptly drenched by a speeding car. She catches the driver's eye, and although she is angry, she can't help noticing how handsome he is. At a ball thrown by the ad agency she works for, she encounters him again. Sykes works for a rival ad agency, and he's trying to snag the account she so desperately needs to land. But the attraction between the two is undeniable, and soon she finds herself kissing him in his car and then flying to Verona for a romantic weekend getaway. But what about Will? Juliet just can't seem to let go of what they have. Potter offers enough surprising twists to keep the story fresh, and movie rights for this cute romantic comedy have already been optioned, so readers will likely seek this one out. Kristine Huntley

5.0 out of 5 stars A great escape!, July 20, 2004
By dlynns (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
The refreshing thing about this story is that it starts where most romantic novels leave off... the two lovers have already managed to overcome obstacles and get together... so now what? If you've ever sat in a theater after a romantic comedy and wondered what happens next, when the two lovers have to make it in the REAL world of dirty laundry and cranky moods and unemployment, etc... this book will take you down that path. The path for our heroine is sometimes fraught with disappointment, difficult choices, mixed messeges and romantic complications, but it's fun going on that journey with her... and watching her make the same mistakes a lot of us in the real world do! Of course, her life is a bit more fabulous than the average gal, but that's the other part I liked about the book! I felt I got an inside peek into hip London life. I didn't want the story to end! If Juliet were a real person, I'd want her in my circle of friends, cause she'd always have the funniest observations, the best gossip and a sweet, understanding ear when the boyfriend situation gets to be a pain! Pick up this book, now that Sex and the City is off the air, it'll help ease the loss!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very enjoyable read, February 17, 2004
By A Customer
This is the third book by this author and I have read every one of them and they just get better every time. Her books are lighthearted, funny and very true to life. Her descriptions of the characters are vivid and endear themselves to you. If you have ever been in any of the situations, you can easily empathise. Am looking forward to reading the latest book DO YOU COME HERE OFTEN? which I understand is out in the UK next month so it will be first on my list when I visit in the summer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! She is now on my 'must buy' list., February 7, 2004
By A Customer
I stopped into our local Borders on my lunch break, started reading this, and was hooked right away. Bought the book and read it in one sitting. Love her writing style, it's very real, yet funny, with great descriptions and a way of telling the story that pulls you right in. It's the kind of book you just want to put the radio on, and curl up under a cozy blanket with.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of a coincidence at the end that was just ridiculous, and could have been handled in a far more believeable way. She redeemed herself though, and I can't wait to read more by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked from the beginning!
As soon as I started reading this novel, I couldn't put it down. I read it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book...frequently uses British slang, though.
