The e-book revolution is well and truly underway with Amazon reporting that the Kindle is its best selling product of all time (read article in the Guardian) – yes, that includes the final Harry Potter.

I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
