Chick Lit Classics: Miranda’s Big Mistake by Jill Mansell

Posted By Leah on June 10th, 2010

Chick Lit Classics is a new feature on Chick Lit Reviews where we highlight the books we feel are classics of the chick lit genre. Feel free to discuss our choices in the comments section!

This week I’ve chosen one of Jill Mansell’s many novels as our Classic pick. I’ve read the majority of Jill’s books and I enjoy them time and time again. One that I still remember even now, even though I haven’t read it in a few years is Miranda’s Big Mistake. I thought it was a fab read and if you haven’t read it, you really must. It may be a decade old (it was originally released in 2000) but it definitely stands the test of time. It’s funny and it’s even sad but, above all, it’s romantic!

Miranda is thrilled when she meets Greg at a cocktail party. He’s gorgeous, he’s funny - and he’s very keen. Just what a girl needs to put some sparkle in her life. Heavens, he’s practically perfect! Greg likes Miranda a lot. She’s young, she’s pretty, and she never talks about babies. Of course he hasn’t told her everything about himself - even the sweetest girls can be a bit funny about a man who’s just left his newly pregnant wife. But there’s no way she’s going to find out - or is there? Luckily for Miranda men are like buses - you don’t see any for ages then three come along at once. She just needs to catch the right one...

Book Cover: A Season To Remember by Sheila O’Flanangan

Posted By Leah on June 10th, 2010

I’m a huge fan of Sheila O’Flanagan so when I noticed she was to have two books published in 2010, I was thrilled. As well as having her regular book out - Stand By Me - Sheila is also publishing another short story collection called A Season To Remember. It’s out on 14th October 2010 and is her third short story collection following Destinations and Connections. I can’t wait for this new collection and I adore the cover, it’s beautiful!

An enchanting collection of warm, poignant and Christmas-themed stories from the Sunday Times bestselling author. In this wonderful collection of interlinked short stories Sheila O’Flanagan brings her own trademark sparkle to Christmas – a time when friends, families and lovers traditionally come together and when every person is hoping their wishes will come true…
