Millie's quiet, single summer is about to get turned upside down...

When her dear friend and bestselling novelist Orla Hart invites Millie to spend the summer with her in Cornwall, Millie leaps at the chance to spend the summer alone, recovering from a bad breakup. But Orla has other ideas.

Envisioning Millie as the heroine of her next novel, Orla is determined that Millie should meet the man of her dreams this summer. The trouble is, Millie's taste in men doesn't match with Orla's at all.

Hugh Emerson, dashing young widower, is the one who really interests her. He is also the one man Orla insists she shouldn't get involved with.

With dropped wallets, rollerskating gorillagrams, the world's most flirtatious boss, and a helicopter in the back garden, It's sure to be an unforgettable summer...

A fresh and fun British women's fiction and a great romantic book with plenty of humor, friendship, and some madcap fun.

Fans of Meg Cabot, Sophie Kinsella, Helen Fielding and Jennifer Weiner will want to escape to Cornwall this summer to find their own romance.

So far, this book is wonderful! It's fun and witty, and I'm not even half-way through the book. I can't wait to see what is in store for Millie! ( )

Millie’s Fling by Jill Mansell is a 2001 Headline Review publication.

This book is over twenty years old and it has been on my Goodreads TBR list for about half that time! Because I have been meaning to read a book by this author for such a long time, I figured I may as well start with this one so I could scratch it off my list.

Any book this old, no matter the genre, will suffer from some dated-ness- in most cases- to various degrees. Sometimes it is hard for me to fathom that 2001 was that long ago!! Were we still making fat shaming remarks- still thinking things like ‘ being gullible is a girl thing?’. Oy!

Okay, putting it all into perspective, I realize this book was meant to be lightweight, fluffy, and humorous. It was never intended to be taken all that seriously. As such, I’m not going to go to the trouble of writing up an in depth analysis of the book.

The long and short of it is that the book didn’t really work for me, overall. Occasionally, I did find myself engaged in some of the drama, but mostly the characters- male and female- were annoying from start to finish and the book went on far longer than it needed to.

That said, I feel it is only fair to try one the author's later releases. She has a solid library of books, so maybe reading an up to date novel might work out better.

Overall, I can’t say I found this book to have very many redeeming qualities, unfortunately. I’m sure this is not the best representation of this author’s work, though- so maybe I’ll give her another try someday.

'A lovely uplifting read' Good Housekeeping He's the best thing that ever happened to her. He's also the worst. He's Millie's fling... When Millie Brady saves Orla Hart's life she doesn't realise how drastically it will change her own - not least because the boyfriend who was asking her to move in with him at the time stormed off in a huff. Actually, Millie's relieved. She's happy to enjoy a man-free summer in Cornwall. But Orla has other ideas. She's determined that Millie should meet the man of her dreams. Trouble is, Millie's taste in men doesn't tally with Orla's. The one who really interests her is Hugh Emerson, and he's the man with whom Orla's adamant she mustn't get involved.

I enjoyed this little escape except that too much of the book focused on sex. It's been ages since I read a RomCom so maybe that's to be expected? Anyway, I'll give the author another try because it was a fun read. ( )

For Lydia and Cory, despite the fact that they are sick and tired of having books dedicated to them. Bad luck, here's another one.

The view from where they were sitting was spectacular, but Millie Brady couldn't help wondering why Neil had driven her up here today to Tresanter Point.
