Millie's boyfriend is about to ask her to move in with him on a cliff when, distractedly, she notices someone idling very close to the cliff alone when she realizes this particular spot as known as Jumper's Bluff more than a hotspot for romance. Not wanting to live with him, or even continue this relationship past this very moment, she jumps out to talk down the woman with the fiery red hair. Very quickly Millie recognizes her as bestselling novelist Orla Hart.

Distraught over her husband's infidelity, coupling that with a very negative review ripping her latest to shreds, Orla has decided she doesn't have much to live for, and can't imagine a life without her beloved groom. Millie points out that it'd be very unfair to Orla herself that her husband and his mistress should be rewarded with her estate should she jump, and that seems to get through to Orla. Soon she's driving Millie back into town, and they part ways until Orla finds her at the travel agency she works at. When Millie quits her job following another fiasco with her married bosses, Orla finds her and tells her she wants to pay to use her life as a basis for the main character of her next novel, as she is determined to get back on top of the bestsellers lists once again. Millie agrees though she knows her life is just not that interesting. Until she meets Hugh.

After a night out on the town with her roommate Hester, who's ended the night with her typical throwing her stilettos to the wind, it appears that Hester has hit a cat with one of her heels. Millie runs to the bushes to check the cat and finds he is okay and then finds a wallet to boot. After rifling through and finding that the owner is a good looking man indeed, Millie decides to prank him and tell him of their affair behind his wife's back three months prior. His humor at the joke turns cold with mention of his wife, and he tells Millie it's not possible as his wife died eight months ago. Mortified, Millie ships off the wallet with a letter apologizing profusely, remaining anonymous or so she thinks. When Hugh calls and asks to take her for a drink in gratitude, she reluctantly agrees. Sparks fly between them with both doing their best to ignore it, and Millie trying to keep it from Orla. The poor man's had his heart broken, there's no need for him to have to worry about showing up in a novel.

I really enjoyed this book. It was quick and fun. The banter was funny and easy to imagine and even the slightly darker topics (cheating, death) were not made heavy in the book. It was cute and it played out well. I will definitely look forward to more of Jill Mansell's novels. Does anyone else love the influx of British chick lit authors coming here lately? Harriet Evans, Dorothy Koomson and Jill Mansell are three notables and I enjoy them all immensely!
