About this deal

Through all the ups and downs, the supportive close-knit community, where nothing stays secret for long, is just what she needs to get back on her feet and help to distract her from risking what is sure to be another disastrous romance. From her literary prowess and an uncanny ability for her books to be read by all and sundry, Jill Mansell is truly one of the greatest authors of our time. De heerlijke, soepele schrijfstijl van Mansell neemt je vanaf de eerste bladzijde mee naar het dorp Foxwell. De verschillende perspectieven, de verschillende levens en dus de verschillende verhaallijnen, maken ook dit verhaal weer intrigerend en vlot leesbaar. Een heerlijke plek, waar toevallig ook nog Remy woont, de aantrekkelijke oudere broer van Lou’s vriend Sammy.

Het was lang geleden dat ik een feelgood had gelezen en wat heb ik ervan genoten om het wel te doen! De hoofdstukken starten namelijk direct waar het vorige hoofdstuk eindigt: niet mijn favoriete vormgeving. Some of her books include Rumour Has it, To the Moon and Back, Thinking of You, Making up Your Mind, The One you Really Want, Sheer Mischief, Kiss and Solo.

She is among the most famous chick-lit authors in the world, chick-lit in the sense that she has written fiction books about women and they appeal to women of all ages.

A witty, heartwarming story of love, life and second chances set in the idyllic Cotswolds, from the glorious Jill Mansell. What I love about Joll Mansell'S books is that they are always a real rollercoaster ride of friendship, loyalty and lovely romance. Lou's relationship with her best friend, Sammy, and his older brother, Remy (who she's been harboring feelings for since their younger days) was one of the highlights of the story. Jill Mansell heeft weer een succesformule op het papier weten te vangen die het begin van de lente inluidt. Samen was het een compleet en goed uitgewerkt geheel en was het oprecht weer een heerlijke Jill Mansell!

From Lou’s lovely personality to the grumpiness of Edgar, the charm of Remy through to the absolutely adorable four legged Captain Oates. Whilst Lou and Edgar are the human stars of this book, it is Captain Oates, the tiny rescue dog who really steals the show. In 2012, To The Moon And Back was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists Association's Contemporary Romantic Novel award. Haar omgang met de knorrige en botte maar eenzame Edgar maakt je vrolijk, ze zorgt ervoor dat hij weer onderdeel van de gemeenschap wordt en bezorgt hem echte blijdschap door een nieuwe vriend op zijn pad te brengen: de lastige hond Captain Oates, die voor grappige en ontroerende momenten zorgt en de held van het verhaal wordt. Truly man's best friend, in this case, Edgar - their relationship was so wholesome, so very sweet, so very sad at Edgar's final moments, that had me tearing up.

Hierdoor blijft het verhaal afwisselend, wordt het geen moment saai en worden de verschillende perspectieven mooi met elkaar verbonden, al had ik over enkele elementen en achtergronden graag nog uitgebreider willen lezen. Lou sets out to turn things around for Edgar and herself and wants to change his life and make him enjoy it again (which is very hard when he is so hard to please).The book is filled with a diverse cast of interesting and well-developed characters including a woman from Edgar’s past and her family. Jill Mansell's books have sold over ten million copies and her titles include: Making your Mind up, Fast Friends, Good at Games, Sheer Mischief and Solo, among many others. The storyline moves along at the perfect pace, building up not only Edgar and Lou’s relationship, but also Lou’s relationship with childhood friend, Remy.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own. In the year 2009, she unsurprisingly achieved two milestones, The Telegraph listed her as one of the bestselling authors of the decade and in the same year Jill Mansell’s novel ‘Rumour has it’ spent a total of two months in The Sunday Times hardback bestseller list and the paperback was ranked third in the bestselling list.The book is about what we all, go through in our lives at one stage of our lives, where you leave your old life behind and start afresh. Lou is een personage om wie je meteen gaat geven: ze heeft een groot hart, tomeloze energie en een positieve instelling, ze is zorgzaam en altijd op zoek naar manieren om andere mensen gelukkig te maken, al laat ze daardoor ook wel eens over zich heen lopen en is ze redelijk naïef, ondanks alles wat ze heeft meegemaakt. As much as she is a great author in her own right, she enjoys reading other literary works with authors such as Marian Keyes, Nora Ephron and Sophie Kinsella listed among her favourites.
