As a teenager, Maddy Harvey was a bit of an ugly duckling, but thankfully she’s blossomed since then. But when she meets Kerr McKinnon one summer’s night and discovers, days later, who he really is, that’s when the real problems start. Because everyone in Ashcombe knows what happened 11 years ago, and as far as her mother Marcella is concerned, she would rather tear that family to pieces with her bare hands than see Maddy associate with a McKinnon. And, okay, maybe Marcella isn’t her real mother, but Maddy owes her so much. It’s Romeo and Juliet all over again. Quick, hide those sharp knives and that little bottle of poison.

I loved this book! It was a readable length, and it got straight to the story, and had really likeable characters. The book I read before this was a Cathy Kelly book, and it took me weeks to finish. Yes, obviously it was over double the length of this Jill Mansell book, but I have been finding Cathy's books to be over long, and they take ages to get going properly.
Not the case for Jill Mansell - this book was shorter than Cathy Kelly's books but it definitely got straight into the story, and you were very quickly introduced to the characters. I would highly recommend this :)
