I just reread this the other day and laughed out loud - something I rarely do when reading. Corby knows how to conjure up the most hilarious situations for her characters. And the characters themselves are wonderful. Laura is a loveable Brit who "attracts trouble without meaning to." She and her former step brother, James, get into a funny, madcap scrape with his former girlfriend, Cressida, and her jealous Italian husband, Stefano. There are stolen antique artifacts, a wild trip to France, shady characters, and the simmering attraction between James and Laura. It's a marvelous example of British chick lit at its best. Corby only wrote three novels and then hasn't written anything since. But, the three novels she wrote are gems. Try to get and read all three. You won't be disappointed.
