About this listen

It's a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a good job, four bossy sisters and a needy cat must also have want of her one true love. Or is it?

Another delightful novel from the author of The Little Bookshop of Lonely Hearts. Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jenny Colgan

Verity Love – Jane Austen fangirl and an introvert in a world of extroverts – is perfectly happy on her own (thank you very much), and her fictional boyfriend Peter is very useful for getting her out of unwanted social events. But when a case of mistaken identity forces her to introduce a perfect stranger as her boyfriend, Verity’s life suddenly becomes much more complicated.

Johnny could also use a fictional girlfriend. Against Verity’s better judgement, he persuades her to partner up for a summer season of weddings, big number birthdays and garden parties, with just one promise – not to fall in love with each other…

Although the book is lightweight, it is charming and funny. With a great insight into different character’s psyche. And if you are a lover of pride and prejudice. You can’t fail to enjoy the tongue in cheek, contemporary slant.

An enjoyable light read

I loved the first book... but this book was the best book I've read in a very long time.

The characters are so realistic you really empathise with them, even knowing how it'll end you go through the roller coaster of emotions with them. If you love books and a happy ending you won't regret buying this book.

I'm so sad the 3rd book is released tomorrow but I have to wait an unknown amount of time for the audio version... I can't wait I'm hooked! I have a new favourite author!

This book has inspired me to re-listen to Pride and Prejudice though :)

Wow!
