Helpful Score: 3
A fast paced read. I really liked it - has more to the plot than the usual love story. Reminded me of Bridget Jones, and the Shopaholic.
Helpful Score: 2
keeps you guessing until the last chapter. Romance, mystery, comedy!

This book was a bit of a let down for me. If I pick up a book called When in Rome, then is it wrong to expect more than 55 of the 264 pages to actually be set in Rome?! Most of the book takes place in London.
I liked the main character Georgie enough to finish the book, even though I thought she was pretty clueless about most things. I won't be running out to find another book by this author though, I guess British chick lit isn't for me and I'm from England!!

Okay, so at 1st I almost didn't finish the book, because I got so aggravated and frustrated with the main character Georgie for being an absolute idiot. But, I continued reading and it did get a lot better and she grew up by the end of the book and sorted everything out satisfactorily.
Good read - was able to finish in 2 days.

When in Rome, do as Audrey Hepburn would do. Failing that, run off with your ex-boyfriend, carry suspicious packages through customs, and lie to the person who loves you. . . .
Georgie Beauchamp is totally happy and in love with her wonderful, dependable boyfriend, David. So why does she always daydream about running into her gorgeous ex-boyfriend Mike? It cant mean shes still in love with himespecially since the cad dumped her so horribly. As luck would have it, when Georgies daydream actually comes true, she is dressed in unglamorous sweats and carrying a curtain rod down the street, while Mike is driving an expensive sports car and looking better than Brad Pitt at the Oscars. She longs to have the glamorous life Mike can offerand starts to think that he might want her back in his arms.
But when he invites her for a weekend in Rome, Georgie is torn. David has always said hed take her there for the romantic getaway of a lifetime, but his work keeps him totally tied up. So she must choose: David, all comfort and reliability, or Mike, all flirtation and butterfly-stomachs. The decision isnt too hard to make, and faster than she can say Vespa, shes off to Rome with Mike, full of plans to frolic on the Spanish Steps and sip wine in intimate trattorias. But when David shows up unexpectedly, this roman holiday gets a hell of a lot more complicated. . . .
