Book Review: Take a Chance on Me by Jill Mansell

Take a Chance on Me
*****

I've already mentioned that I fell in love with Jill Mansell's books late last year. I just loved the way she tells her stories and how her books involve so many different people and a lot of different twists that you weren't expecting. All of her books I've read so far carry a similar theme. They are centered around a few main characters and relationships - with lovers, with family and with friends. All in all, they are good light reads.

That being said, this one is my favorite of the three I've read so far. I loved the characters and I especially like it when the main male character sounds like someone I would love to know myself, which was the case in this novel. The ending was one of the sweetest things I have ever read. I do not often go back and read books more than once, but I liked this one so much that I might just do that.

I think Jill Mansell is a really good author and keeps her books interesting. But she does carry the same types of themes in her books which can be viewed as both good and bad. Good because you know what to expect when you pick up one of her books. Bad because if you read too many all in a row, you might get bored of the same kind of book over and over again.

Still, if you are going to check her out, I suggest this book in particular. I don't think you will be disappointed.
