1: Fun British "chic lit"
When I want a fun, easy reads for nothing more then entertainment value I look for Brit authors and head straight for the chic lit. This book didn't let me down. Classic story line - single career girl who's mother wants her married, younger sister getting married first, must find date for the wedding. If you loved Bridget Jones you'll definitely have a soft spot for Sophy Metcalfe. She's sort of like Bridget's slightly more sophisticated and successful sister.

2: Funny and sweet
I read this book a few years ago. I found it in a little book shop, and I am glad I did. Sophy's life certainly became complicated when she invented 'Dominic'. Actually, when I purchased the novel, it was called 'Asking for trouble', and much to my surprise I noticed a movie which seemed to have the same story line."A wedding date" and really, it is hardly anything like the novel.I loved the book...I wonder how Elizabeth Young felt to have had her story completely re-written??Still, it was fun and a light read.Elizabeth Young has captured me for a reader, and I have read all of her books so far.

3: Very good.
Great book! Only one problem: the language can be a bit hard to understand. The book was originally published in the UK, so it is understandable that some words and phrases went over my head, but very good none-the-less!

4: What a great read!
I adored this book. It had me laughing and frustrated and I never wanted to put it down. I loved the characters and how vivid their surroundings were. I was quickly brought into Sophy's world and was just as curious about Josh as she was. She was a lovely character, quite real and I found I had things in common with her, which is a plus in a novel. Elizabeth Young had a certain knack for modern romance with humorous twists. In the end it left me sad to put the book down...for good???
A great summer read that'll have you laughing out loud.

5: Enjoyable!
Very cute book, but be warned... This is the same book (with a different title) as "Asking For Trouble" by the same author.
