Cute, energetic Isabel Serranti works as a party planner for a big company and has somewhat not too happy memories from her childhood as her then best friend Simon Monkwell started bullying her and since moving away after a year or so, has not seen him since. But. Simon has worked himself up into a position as a very respected entrepreneur and from what Isabel has heard about him, he's still his old bullying self. As of a fluke she is drawn in to plan a charity ball that is to be held at the Monkwell estate and has to go there although seriously hoping that Simon will be too busy sacking people and not have time to come and bully her again. When she gets to her childhood grounds she's starting to remember things she had forgotten and even comes to realise that not all memories are what they seem.
This is my first Sarah Mason book and certainly not my last. I laughed out loud as Isabel and her friends made a mess of things and felt for her in moments that were not kind to them. As always there's a love story/triangle/drama and this book is no different. They guy you think is Mr Right for our heroine is not necessarily so and obviously the guy she loathes has his nice and loving moments, which doesn't make things any easier. Well, I knew which one I would have chosen but sadly he's gay.
Seriously, if you're looking for a book with a whole new concept and a story line with more twist and turns than Britney Spear's knickers (when she wears them) then this is not the book for you. If you want a book that makes you; 1. laugh 2. thinking of calling in sick so you can stay in bed reading and 3. makes you want more from the same author - then, this is the one for you. I've bought my 3rd Sarah Mason book today but I'll be saving that for my holiday next week!
