This first novel about a young American, now living in London after having studied drama, has a very worldly and sophisticated appeal. Underneath the 'glitz', however, is a strong but subtle assessment of the realities of life, many of them unpleasant. The Anglo-American flavours, the refreshing candour, the quirky humour remind one of Bridget Jones's tussle with love and life but this, in my view, is less bubbly and more intelligent. Well worth the investment.
