Ok so, for this book think a cross between Brigid Jones Diary and Sex And The City. The reinvention of Mimi Finnegan is seriously funny. Poor Mimi manages to get herself into so many hilarious situations that it seems her life is never destined to be normal. Poor Mimi feels like the cuckoo in the nest among her family. With 3 beautiful and talented sisters to compete with, Mimi feels like she has nothing to offer and no-one to offer it to! Trying to reinvent herself to capture a man she both lusts after and hates all at the same time, Mimi appears to have more luck attracting other men rather than the stuck up English author she is actually interested in. I did fall in love a little with Richard who Mimi meets in New York and did think that he was in fact the perfect man for me!

 Aided and abetted by a host of wonderful characters, including the fantastic Kevin, her Weight Watchers buddy and her talking bunion Edith, Mimi tries desperately not to throw her sex starved body at Elliot, the 'stuck up English Prig!'  You need to read the book to understand the bunion bit. Suffice to say, that I laughed so much while reading this book and will never be able to look at a turkey in quite the same way again after reading how Mimi's mother describes the Thanksgiving one! That one made me laugh for hours! Mimi becomes increasingly frustrated as to why Elliot won't dump his girlfriend 'the beast' but it all soon becomes clear that there is a secret that is being kept and nothing that Mimi could ever have imagined. I did become a little frustrated at times with Mimi and her indecision regarding who deserved her more.
