Synopsis
Fern is glaring thirty in the face and can't ignore the love lies any longer. Life with Adam was amazing once - although these days swinging from the chandeliers means D.I.Y not S.E.X. She believes a romantic wedding should be the next step but Adam just won't go down on one knee. Then a chance meeting with Scottie Taylor - the UK's sexiest pop star - lights fireworks in Fern that won't stop exploding. It's mind-expanding love at first sight for them both so when he proposes in front of a sell-out crowd at Wembley Stadium, there's only one answer. Yes, yes, yes! Before you know it, Fern is living the celebrity dream in LA and a wedding planner is arranging designer shoe fittings. But isn't it all happening a little too fast? Why is this modern day Cinderella homesick for a rented two-bedroom flat in Clapham? How do you know whether love is telling the truth? Fern must choose which version of this fairy tale is hers.
Review
Fern is approaching thirty, enjoying her job as a florist but her long time boyfriend won't commit and the relationship is becoming stale and boring. Does she even still love him ? A chance encounter with her favourite mega pop star leads to romance and the celebrity life style in LA - this is the stuff of dreams !
With strong characters, good dialogue and well drawn locations, the author manages to make the whole fairy-tale scenario totally believable. Having occasional chapters by the main people works well and the behind the scenes detail of the pop star life provides interesting padding as the plot unfolds.
A fast paced, very readable romance, and not as predictable as one could have expected. Just the book for a holiday read, and Richard Curtis take note, this would make a great movie !
