The usual office workmate stereotypes feature, including bossy office manager Linda - whether she's a lesbian or just a woman without a man isn't made clear although you get the impression this is the kind of book that doesn't make the distinction between the two. And because she's feeling a bit down and shallow, she decides to do a bit of volunteering if only volunteering really did solve all your problems so neatly so she signs up with Helping Hands and hands out dinners to the homeless, does babysitting so an ex-drug addict mother can get out a bit etc etc.
Oh what a saint. Of course there's a man in there - her boss at the Helping Hands centre. The book is predictable and follows the usual standard formula for chick lit, but I can't help feeling that Phred really wasn't that interested - he never made any effort at all and never even apolygised when it was made clear she wasn't responsible for that article in the paper. There was a comment in the book about how terrible Tori Amos' albums are. Sorry, you loose a point for that one! Aug 26, Jacqueline rated it it was ok. This was heading for a 3 star until it got to the end, where it just didn't deliver the goods at all.
The ending was rather like a really poor imitation of a Richard Curtis film with a nauseating 'getting together in front of everyone else' scene. A pity really as it was an absorbing read until then. There were an awful lot of characters in this and I found it hard to care very much for them all. What was nice was that the central character was not the usual 'dizzy' chick lit type who goes aroun This was heading for a 3 star until it got to the end, where it just didn't deliver the goods at all.
What was nice was that the central character was not the usual 'dizzy' chick lit type who goes around doing daft things that are supposed to be funny but just make you cringe, and that made this very readable and plausible for me up until that awful ending. Jan 21, Anne rated it really liked it.
I quite enjoyed this book although a lot of the UK slang left me baffled and looking up Urban Dictionary. I found it different to other chick lit books in that there was so much going on aside from the romance storyline. In fact there were so many characters it took me awhile to remember who everyone was! It was quite witty too and made me laugh out loud in some places which is always a plus. On an aside, I thought the spelling of 'Phred' was a bit ridiculous though.
I think it would've worked j I quite enjoyed this book although a lot of the UK slang left me baffled and looking up Urban Dictionary. I think it would've worked just as well had his name been spelled in the conventional sense! Nov 10, Katie Tingle rated it really liked it Shelves: The book started off shaky at first as I was bored and was contemplating not carrying on reading it.
However, about pages in it took a turn for the best and by the end I fell in love with Nell and Phred's funny relationship.
Handbags and Halos
I have to give it 4 stars for the start but other than that it was a fantastic read. Glad I read this book and I recommend this to individuals who love a romantic, hilarious read to pass the time. Bernadette Strackan- I think I'm going to be reading some more of your boo The book started off shaky at first as I was bored and was contemplating not carrying on reading it.

Jul 25, Hazel rated it it was amazing.
This was the first book that I read of Bernadette Strachan's and it was the one that made me go out and find all the rest that she has written! I LOVE this author, her similes are hilarious! At one point I couldn't see the page through my tears of laughter. This is ny most favourite of all her books, in fact, it's one of my most favourites ever! Jul 19, Stephanie rated it liked it Shelves: I really want to give this book a 3. But because it is written by a UK author, and she uses so many terms and mentions so many products that I am unfamiliar with, it made it a little distracting for me.

I could have really used footnotes with this book. But the story itself was good. It seemed to get better as it went along. Mar 30, Felicity rated it liked it.
Another of Bernadette Strachan's book, and another read that I enjoyed heartily. Strachan makes me laugh and laugh and laugh out loud, and this book was no exception. Predictable chick-lit it may be, but that doesn't detract from the novel's many charms. Nov 21, Maya rated it liked it Shelves: Sep 29, Anne rated it liked it.
Some of the brit slang got me lost in translation in several parts of the book. A rather slow start but the ending was just laugh-out-loud hilarious! There's a problem loading this menu right now. Get fast, free shipping with Amazon Prime.
