When you meet the man of your dreams on girls night out, it's hardly…Perfect Timing. In this fresh and funny contemporary romance by bestselling author Jill Mansell, Poppy Dunbar's whole life gets turned upside down after a chance encounter with a handsome stranger...Never a troublemaker, Poppy had always been content with the way things were supposed to be done—which included marrying predictable Rob McBride. But that was before she met Tom Kennedy the night before her wedding. Could she really be falling in love with a stranger? Unable to forget Tom, or go through with the wedding, Poppy runs off to London. Her new life and colorful friends are anything but predictable. Misunderstandings, family secrets, and jealous quarrels ensue, but can Poppy stop running long enough to figure out what—or, rather, who—is in her heart?I've read a few Jill Mansell novels and thoroughly enjoyed them, so I was really looking forward to reading Perfect Timing. Sadly, this book was a bit of a let down for me. It certainly wasn't a page-turner for me like her other novels I've read (Miranda's Big Mistake and Millie's Fling). Unfortunately, I thought this book was a little slow and boring at parts. The last 60 or so pages were really good, and I did like how the book ended (although slightly predictable). I thought there was a good story buried in there, but it could've used to have been trimmed of the slow sections. Cute story, but not as good as her others.
