Yes it's a book that entertained me while reading it, the almost Bridget Jones antics of Natasha and her pals is quite readable and she does make soem very solid points while being entertaining. I have no idea if the data is accurate (being Irish and this being very UK centric I can't comment on numbers) but the core data remains quite useful. Natasha helps her friends work out how to invest their money and how to overcome financial difficulties. Interesting and entertaining, it teaches a lot about finances while amusing. Kudos to the author for making such a dry topic actually keep me interested, there was little I skimmed and most of it was detailed UK tax issues.
