Since November 2009Book News: From Notting Hill with Love… Actually by Ali McNamara
January 18th, 2010 by ChloeThis book is just made for me! I am a huge rom-com and Hugh Grant fan so when I found out that a new chick lit author has written a book based on a fan of these films and actors, I was so excited! Ali McNamara’s debut novel From Notting Hill with Love… Actually isn’t due out until 25th November so we’ve got a long wait, but it’s one I am really excited for! I also adore the book’s tagline: “She Was Just a Girl, Standing in Front of a Boy… Wishing He Looked More Like Hugh Grant“! Here’s the great sounding synopsis:
“Scarlett O’Brien is in love …with the movies. Utterly hooked on Hugh Grant, crazy about Richard Curtis, dying with lust for Johnny Depp, Scarlett spends her days with her head in the clouds and her nights with her hand in a huge tub of popcorn. Which is not exactly what her sensible, DIY-obsessed fiance David has in mind for their future. So when Scarlett has the chance to house-sit an impossibly grand mansion in Notting Hill, the setting of one of her all-time favourite movies, she jumps at the chance to live out her film fantasies one last time. It’s just a shame that her new neighbour Sean is so irritating, and so irritatingly handsome, too. As a chaotic comedy of her very own erupts around Scarlett, she begins to realise there’s more to life than seating plans and putting up shelves. What sort of happy ending does she really want? Will it be a case of Runaway Bride or Happily Ever After? The big white wedding looms, and Scarlett is running out of time to decide …”
