nessreader Romcoms with a similar sense of humour, an emphasis on friendships. Marion Keyes is also in this zone.

I enjoyed this better than I thought I would. This story was all about commitment. Katie with her career, Dan with his forthcoming marrriage, Sukie with her auditions for her dream role, Jon for his big break as a writer, and young dishwasher Matt to fall in love. I laughed out loud, despite my intention not to like the story but I just so had to finish it.
So this one is going to be donated. I liked it but reading it felt wrong. This is one of those books I should really read in English because the dutch translation is rubbish not very good.
An ok read. I didn't like how it jumped to different characters throughout the book. I keep wondering if it would have been better if it was written in first person. It wasn't funny either. The plot was ok with some twists and turns. The ending was perfect though.
cute story, strong language
Katie Simmonds quiere ser psicopedagoga. La semana pasada querÃa ser profesora y la anterior, directora de cine. A Katie no le faltan aspiraciones, pero ninguna de ellas consiste en ser camarera. Desgraciadamente, Katie Simmonds es camarera. Con unos clientes que solo le causan disgustos, un sueldo miserable y un jefe que parece salido del infierno, la vida de Katie no es como la habÃa planeado. Y sus problemas no se limitan a lo profesional. Sin embargo, justo cuando cree que las cosas no pueden ir a peor, el café en el que trabaja pasa a manos del último hombre del mundo con el que querrÃa encontrarse. Puede que Katie lleve sirviendo mesas y esperando al Sr. Perfecto demasiado tiempo…
