Chick Lit Classic: Anyone But Him by Sheila O’Flanagan

Posted By Chloe on October 28th, 2010

Chick Lit Classics is a regular 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!

After reading and loving Sheila O’Flanagan’s new festive book A Season to Remember a couple of weeks ago, the fact it had a couple of characters from Sheila’s 2004 book Anyone But Him reminded what a good book that was, and that is why I have chosen it as the Chick Lit Classic title for this week! It’s a great read about sisterly relationships, how the girls; Andie and Jin, deal with their mother dating again after the death of their father. It was an absorbing read, and I think the first of Sheila O’Flanagan’s books I have read, and a really good one at that, so if you haven’t read it, or you read A Season to Remember and want to know more about Andie, Jin and co., then do pick up a copy of Anyone But Him!

Andie and her sister Jin have never seen eye to eye. Andie doesn’t envy Jin her marriage to a wealthy businessman, while Jin can’t believe Andie’s happy with her man-free existence (if only she knew!). But when their widowed mother Cora comes back from a Caribbean cruise with more than just a suntan, Andie and Jin are united in horror. Who is this gorgeous young man who’s swept their mother off her feet? What the women really need is a friend to set the world to rights with - but can they be friends with each other?”

You would find this strange but I have got every single book of hers and her new ones but I haven’t had time to read them!

Caz, how funny, I do exactly the same with Penny Vincenzi’s books. I even buy them in hardback! I save each one for when I’ll have enough time to read and fully appreciate it…and then somehow a year has gone by and it’s time to buy her next hardback…
Glad I’m not the only one to do this!
