This Could Change Everything by Jill Mansell

This Could Change Everything

by Jill Mansell

The deliciously funny SUNDAY TIMES bestseller: perfect for summer

One little mistake and nothing will ever be the same again!

On the one hand, if Essie hadn't written that letter - the one that only her best friend was meant to see - then she'd still be living like an actual proper grown-up, tucked up with Paul in his picture-perfect cottage, maybe even planning their wedding...

On the other hand (if her true feelings hadn't accidentally taken the internet by storm, that is) she wouldn't have moved into the attic flat on the square. She would never have met Conor. Or got to know Lucas...

And she wouldn't have found herself falling in love with someone she really, really shouldn't fall in love with...

I loved this book! I love all the characters, Zillah in partcular, what a scream and with a massive heart of gold!

I love Jill Mansell’s books, I love the way she tells the stories that needed to be told and I love the love and affection she has for her characters. I have to pinch myself that I am on the tour for one of her books! ….And breathe

Essie, living with her infamy is homeless and jobless, sounds like the best thing for her at least she’s not living a lie now. She decided with her best friend Scarlett, to do a round robin email….only thing is it got sent to everyone including her mother in law and boyfriend, some not so nice things were said, this I can relate to this as I have kind of done something similar in the past! Things start to change when she meets Zillah, she gets a job and a place to stay and we meet Connor and Lucas.

Connor, another character I adored, giving up his law firm job after not billing a sick client who wanted to write her will, and we see some focus on his photography, which is amazing (well in my head) and it is a hit with the regulars in the Red house pub and is a monthly event for everyone to meet up.

Zillah has a complete heart of gold, trying to give back where she can and is just damn right fabulous. I love what she does to give back, and it made me have to dab my eyes a bit. We all need to be a bit like Zillah. It does make you think about how to change your ways, and how to take the time to help others even with the smallest of gestures.

I could gush about this book all day, it has everything for an old-fashioned romantic like me, and I even had a few tears. The theme of second chances and starting anew is something I love!

Please pick this book up and read it. Do it now!! You won’t regret it!
