This novel is delightful chick lit - and such an upbeat story that I've recommended it to many friends. I'm not about to make excuses for reading a lighthearted romance; sometimes it's just the ticket to turn off the negative news vibes.
This humorous story, set in England, revolves around a missing engagement ring, a missing phone, and a found phone. Poppy Wyatt looks forward to her wedding to Magnus, the man of her dreams - until she discovers she has lost her engagement ring, a family heirloom. If that weren't enough, her cell phone goes missing - but then she finds another phone in a wastebasket. The found phone belongs to businessman Sam Roxton's personal assistant, who has thrown it out on her way to quitting her job. Poppy figures she'll just keep the phone as a replacement, but ends up getting messages from the unknown Sam, who is not pleased that a stranger has access to his personal information. As Poppy is knee deep in wedding preparations, she and Sam really seem to antagonize one another (an almost certain recipe for a romance to bloom). Though funny and a bit irreverent, the story has some good lessons about respecting others, about self-respect and self-confidence, and even dealing with grief. Poppy is a lovable heroine and I had fun rooting for her through this novel.
