dbs avatar reviewed on + 329 more book reviews


After Sadie loses her high-paying, high-powered London job, she meets Gil McGann, a Hollywood producer, while handing out leaflets at a book fair. He asks her out and they spend the night together talking, and in the morning they're starry-eyed. Gil sends her a plane ticket to Los Angeles, but it seems that he has a not-quite ex-wife, Gina, who continues to run to Gil for every imagined crisis. Despite their best intentions, every date Sadie and Gil have turns out wrong. Gil wants to take care of Sadie, too, but she finds herself a job, a roommate, and new friends, including Tavis Jones. He's hot, fun, and always knows just what Sadie needs. Sadie loves both Gil and Tavis. Will Sadie choose one? Will she try to make a go of it in sunny L.A. or fly back to rainy London?
