Three Amazing Things About You is no exception and has become my favourite story of hers so far.
The romances are stinkingly adorable if slightly unrealistic (but that doesn’t take away from the enjoyment) and the characters never fail to put a smile on my face. I haven’t read a lot of Jill Mansell’s work, but I know that every single time, she manages to create unique stories which are warm, witty, and wonderful. Imagine the family dinner parties! This should be fun. Lena’s brother, Zander, however, falls in love with Flo. This causes great resentment in Lena, the flat owner’s granddaughter, who’d been eyeing the flat for years (though the cat not so much). Last but not least, Flo inherits a cat, and the cat inherits a flat, so Flo is required to move in with the flat and the cat. Is there such a thing as being too adventurous? He’s perfect for her, except for the fact that he’s an adrenalin junkie and she’s really anxious about him getting hurt. Then we have Tasha, who’s pretty much the only single girl in her group of friends, until she meets Rory. Enter her ex-boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend and things just get more complicated than they ever should be. On top of that, she’s got feelings for her handsome doctor, which could never work out, so that’s kind of awkward. It could be any day now, but she knows there’s not much time left. Jill Mansell always manages to make me feel like I’m reading a book version of Love Actually where we’re following three different storylines and somehow they all intertwine at the end, wrapped up with a neat little ribbon and a satisfied smile on my face.įirst of all, there’s Hallie, who suffers from cystic fibrosis and is on the waiting list for a new pair of lungs. This is a story that will make you think, reassess and ultimately realize that life is for living!ĪRC generously provided via Netgalley, and it was my pleasure to provide the above honest review. I shed a few tears, had a few laughs and generally felt involved in every aspect of this book, and the challenges, situations and dilemmas the three women faced. But from loss, comes life and new beginnings, friends and families. But whose lungs will they be? you cannot help but become emotionally involved.
And although you know it is coming, and as the synopsis says - Hallie goes on a journey. You can’t help but come to care for them, their friends and families. Three women Tasha, Hallie and Flo, living three completely different lives, in three separate parts of the UK, their lives gradually entwine as the book progresses, sometimes in small undetected ways, sometimes a little more obviously. Three Amazing Things About You certainly fulfills those parameters, and then some. Jill Mansell always manages to turn what you expect to initially be a heart breaking tragedy, into a story that as it develops offers hope, humor and new beginnings. 5 - Don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened.
