*****
I downloaded this book a few weeks ago for the bargain price of $1.99. The reader reviews raved on and on about the book and the author, so I hoped it would be a cute story.I started reading it and after the first chapter or two, I got involved in a different book I was reading and finished that one first, then returned to Nadia Knows Best. At some point I fell in love with the characters. Not only does Jill Mansell have a compelling story line for all of her characters, she also keeps mystery and intrigue flowing throughout the book.
There are several different love stories within this book and something crazy going on with every character. Just as the book's moving in the direction you think it's going to go, something unpredictable happens that changes everything and keeps you turning pages. There is an undercurrent of a broken family trying to stick together through everything. There were so many layers to this book, yet at the same time, it was a fun, lighthearted read.
I was enjoying this book so much that two-thirds of the way through it, I downloaded a half-dozen more books by the same author. I had never heard of Jill Mansell before but she is a best-selling author out of Bristol in England, and she has sold more than 7 million copies of her books.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a lighthearted read with lovable characters and something more than the boy meets girl and they live happily ever after story.
