Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Never marry a rock star. Lily discovers this the hard way when her husband's affair with a flighty actress is all over the newsstands. She escapes to London and the comforting arms of former flame and now just friend Carter. But trouble (and paparazzi) follow her. Dealing with the divorce is tough enough, but soon she is trying to save Carter from his crazy new girlfriend, too. Lockwood fans will recognize Lily as the impetuous younger sister from I Do (But I Don't) (2003), and big sis Lauren makes a hilarious cameo appearance. This novel has the same quick wit as Lockwood's earlier fare but isn't as sweet and sympathetic. Readers may not be able to relate to the trials of celebrity, but they will be able to relate to Lily's attempt to move on. It's the story of heartbreak and recovery at the heart of the novel that will draw readers in. Aleksandra Kostovski

Product Description

Are you ready to rock?

Lily Crandell has always lived in the shadow of her older sister, Lauren, who has a successful career as a wedding planner and a perfect husband and baby boy. Known within her family for being an aimless, impulsive trouble-magnet, Lily finally decides she may as well live up to her reputation: she elopes with new beau and would-be rock star Ted Dayton. But just as quickly as his band skyrockets, Lily's marriage crashes and burns. When news of her ex's new love with sultry and silicone-enhanced actress Melanie Slate hits the tabloids, she flees the country.

Hello, London!

Across the pond, Lily shares a flat with an old flame -- a commitment-phobic doctor who convinces her that the best prescription for her broken heart is volunteering at the local hospital. Turns out, he's right, as one of the patients, famed soccer star Sean Gates, takes more than a passing interest in Lily's quirky style. But things get complicated when her ex's band starts flying up the British charts. Ted comes to town, the paparazzi camp on her doorstep, and her new fling and old flame both find rumors that Lily and her ex are planning a little reunion tour rather troublesome. Is there a happily ever after at the end of this rocky road?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, fun read, June 13, 2006

By	Bearette24 (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I thought this book was perfect. It's the story of Lily, the irresponsible, spontaneous, and funny sister of Lauren (the wedding planner from Lockwood's previous book, "I Do (But I Don't)." Lily was married to Ted, a self-absorbed rock star, until he left her for an actress of dubious skill, Melanie Slate. Upset by her impending divorce (and assault charges for beating up Ted), Lily takes off for London and the comfort of her friend and ex-boyfriend, Carter.

Lily has a quick wit that made the book very fun to read. Carter is funny as well, and has a hair fetish. His hair is always perfectly styled. Lily's dog, an overweight Chihuahua named Arnold, often steals the show, and Lauren shows up in London as well.

The characters are so funny and relatable, and the bits about celebrity are entertaining as well. A fun read for anyone who enjoys chick lit or Cara Lockwood's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, captivating, a must-read, June 23, 2006

By	Kuklaki (Chicago) - See all my reviews

I am not a reader, and I read this book non-stop the minute I put my hands on it-I just couldn't put it down! There were parts of this book that I found myself laughing to as well as able to relate to (as far as confusing feelings go in relationships). The main character, Lily, is going through a divorce from her rock-star, egotistical, cheating husband and goes to London to reunite with a friend (ex boyfriend) of hers to just relax and get away for a while before her trial. While there she goes on this adventure of figuring out herself, what she wants, and her feelings. Although she thinks she might want to move on from her ex, she can't. The ending is surprising though, and of course a love story at heart. Her thoughts are changing throughout the story into what unravels to be her finding herself in the end and "growing up" to realize what she wants in life. I thought it was a great, very well-written book, not to mention it was funny! If you want a book that you just want to keep on reading, this would be for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny follow up to "I Do But I Don't:, February 25, 2008

By	Tracy Vest (Northern California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Despite pending litigation for showing her estranged husband what she thought of him. Lily travels to London (with her sister's passport no less) to get away from her nasty divorce from philandering rock star Ted to stay with her former boyfriend Carter, an orthopedic surgeon based in London who cannot commit to a hair gel much less a girlfriend. Jealous ex-girlfriends, an incoherent roommate reminiscent of the guy in "Notting Hill," nosey tabloid reporters, and a volunteer job at Carter's Hospital help Lily move on from the bitterness of the breakup with Ted and open her eyes to new romantic possibilities.

It's a sequel to Lockwood's funny romantic comedy "I Do, But I Don't," and readers will be happy to catch up with Lauren and Rick' lives. I love Lockwood's writing style - she writes in such a conversational style, that you feel like a friend is telling you a story (and a very witty friend at that). While parts of the story are predictable, Lockwood's wry observations (why do all London tabloids have exclamation points in their titles?) and witty retorts keep the readers on their toes.
