I consider this to be Kinsella's best book so far. Samantha, the loveable heroine, lives a very unbalanced life of work, work, work. Then a twist of fate finds her flung into a different world, completely new and far beyond her comfort zone. This hilarious (laugh out loud - seriously!), witty and romantic romp sees her explore the aspects of herself she had ignored thusfar and to rise to challenges she had previously avoided. The ending is as wonderful as we've come to expect from Kinsella. Its a fabulous read, don't miss it!
