Product Description

Poppy Dunbar is out on her hen night when she meets Tom Kennedy. With his dark eyes and quirky smile, he could lure any girl off the straight and narrow, but what really draws Poppy to him is the feeling that she’s known him all her life. She can’t go through with the meeting they arrange – but she can’t go through with the wedding either.
 
Suddenly notorious as ‘The Girl Who Jilted Rob Macbride’, Poppy moves to London. Soon she’s installed in the bohemian household of Caspar French, a ravishingly good-looking young artist with a reputation for breaking hearts. But even in her colourful new home, Poppy can’t get Tom off her mind. Until she’s tracked him down, she’ll never know if their meeting was destiny – or if the future holds something entirely different for her...

Customer Reviews

pretty good for light reading
It was an enjoyable book I finished it in 2 days! Perfect for holiday reading if you don't feel like concentrating. Poppy thinks she meets The One on her hen night, just before she is about to be married the next day. He is dark, cute and sexy and he likes her, tells her he's a doctor. They get up to a bit but not kissing or anything like that. Poppy obviously doesn't love her hubby that much otherwise she wouldn't have 'fallen in love' with Tom (the cute guy). She is torn in 2, they plan to meet somewhere aftewards but she doesn't but she still cancels her wedding. She then moves to London straight after that and there we are introduced to a whole lot of colourful, believable (some of them) characters. Mansell keeps you guessing till the end as to who is Poppy's true love. I like the way Mansell always makes every character find love and their lives always have a happy ending.

So entertaining, that I didn't miss not having a TV!
Poppy Dunbar jilts her hubby-to-be on the morning of her wedding after a fleeting brief encounter with adonis Tom on her hen night. From this point, Poppy's life is changed and she relocates to London. There are surprises waiting in store for her in the city where we are introduced to more colourful characters Casper and Claudia (her new housemates). Each character has their own little role in this book. Jill Mansell manages to fully develop the individual characters which makes 'perfect timing' extremely 'full bodied'!

Chick-Lit at it's Best!
This was the first book I picked up in a last ditch attempt at a holiday read at the airport. It was probably the best thing I could have put my hand on. If you're looking for a great story with characters instantly recognisable with your own friends and situations that make you laugh out loud, get this! It's funny, light, compelling, captivating and the definition of a page-turner... holiday heaven.
