Chick Lit Reading Challenge # 19

I seem to be slipping behind with my reviews for this challenge so am going to be playing catch up.

First up is Head Over Heels by Jill Mansell. This is one of her older books but the library and a new shiny copy which I couldn't resist and I usually enjoy her books.




Jessie has kept the identity of her son Oliver's father a secret for years. She's stunned when she discovers that the man in question, actor Toby Gillespie, has just moved in next door. The truth's about to come out. One glance at Oliver, and a little mental arithmetic, and Toby has the situation sussed. Meeting the son he never knew he had is the shock of a lifetime. It's a shock, too, for Toby's wife, the beautiful Deborah, though she seems to take it in her stride. Would Deborah be so relaxed if she knew just how close Toby wants to get to the mother of his firstborn? As the attraction between them flares up again, Jessie just can't see her way to a happy ending. But no one is quite what they seem, and there are more surprises to come...

This was an enjoyable read even if the storyline was a little predictable. The main story revolves around Jessie and Toby who have some history and the repercussions ripple throughout the book. There are some fantastic character introduced along the way which make for a very entertaining read. Chick lit at it's best in my opinion.
