An Offer You Can't Refuse

Customer Reviews:

Fantastic Brit Chick Lit

By Julie Peterson "Booking Mama" - July 12, 2009

When I was in my 20s, I read so much Chick Lit -- pretty much everything I could get my hands on. I think I read these types of books because it was so not the life I was living. I met my husband when I was 20 and got married when I was 24, but I did consider myself a working girl in the city so I could somewhat relate. Then, I turned 30 and got pregnant. I still read a few of the popular, mainstream Chick Lit books but I could tell that my tastes were changing and I pretty much had nothing in common with the characters. Now, I'm rapidly approaching 40 this month (UGH!!!) and I have to say that I have more in common with the mothers of the girls in these types of books; however, I still find that I enjoy reading the occasional good Chick Lit book. AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE by Jill Mansell was just that -- an entertaining Chick Lit book and I had such a great time reading it!

An Offer You Can't Refuse to Read on the Beach

By S. Agusto-Cox "Savvy Verse & Wit" - April 3, 2009

An Offer You Can't Refuse by Jill Mansell is witty, charming, engaging, and Chicklit to the max.

For a reviewer this was a treat to find in a book, this is definitely how many of us feel about books and reading, and reading these lines instantly cemented my attention to this book.

Lola is a young girl in love with a boy, Dougie, whose family is wealthy and whose mother hates her guts. His mother makes her an offer that she can't refuse, so she takes it and says goodbye to the love of her life in a "Dear John" letter. Fast-forward to the present day and we find Lola has grown up physically, but still wears the same teenage, low-cut clothes and finds herself being mistaken for a prostitute when she walks into London bookstore after living in Majorca for about a decade. Eventually, Lola becomes more grounded and is the bookshop manager, but just as she thinks her life is stabilizing and in a... read more

Not my favorite by Mansell, but I still enojoyed it.

By Brittany Johnson - April 26, 2013

I am an avid reader of Jill Mansell's books, so naturally this was on my "To Read" list. While this one was not my favorite by her, it was still a really enjoyable chick lit book to read.

My favorite characters in the book were Gabe and Sally, not even Lola and Dougie, the main characters. I felt like the relationship between Gabe and Sally was much more developed than the relationship between Dougie and Lola. I would have liked to see Dougie and Lola actually fall for each other again, instead of things just happening. That being said, I did enjoy reading about Dougie and the way he treated Lola at times because it was comical.

I also thought Nick James was a good supporting character. When he was first introduced, I did not think he was Lola's father (not a spoiler as this is revealed early on in the book). The back story as to why he was not around was a pretty unique one, and I loved that he came back to start a relationship with Lola. I also thought the... read more
