Since this doesn't have a description yet, I'll post the back cover info from my copy:
Even in a small town the drama is larger than life...
Cleo Quinn doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to men, but now Will's come along. Handsome and attentive, he could be her Mr Right. Things are definitely looking up for Cleo... apart from the one small problem with a rather large ego. Johnny LaVenture, sculptor extraordinaire and her personal childhood nemesis, is back in Channing's Hill and tormenting her as if he'd never been away.
Meanwhile Cleo's sister Abbie has a problem of her own - husband Tom has become distant and withdrawn, and she's determined to find out why. But will the shocking truth mean the end of their idyllically happy marriage? The sisters are about to discover that the past can come back to haunt you, and that love can flourish in the unlikeliest of places.
"Pick this up at your peril: you won't get a thing done till it's finished." -Heat Magazine
"Witty and charming, this easygoing tale is full of twists that make it hard to put down." -Woman Magazine
"A fast pace and fun writing that make the story fly by." -Publishers Weekly
"Mansell knows her craft and delivers a finely tuned romantic comedy." -Kirkus
My take: I am a huge Jill Mansell fan and have collected quite a collection of her books over the years. Take a Chance on Me is one of my favorites - it is funny, the characters are fun to read, and the love story develops slowly and as the realization of what is really going on here hits you, your heart quivers! Any Jill Mansell book is a good bet for a fun read but two of my other favorites are Mirianda's Big Mistake and Rumour Has It.
