You Had Me At Merlot
Lisa Dickenson (Sphere, £7.99)
When Elle’s best friend Laurie begs her to go on a singles holiday to a vineyard in Tuscany, she’s unsure. The fact is, Elle is very happy being on her own. She’s got a job that takes up a lot of her time and a boss she’s desperate to impress – there’s just no room for romance in her life. Still, what’s the harm in tagging along for all that lovely Italian food and wine, eh? Well, as Elle is soon to discover, there’s a lot more to this holiday than cheese, vino and Vespas... Hilariously funny from pretty much the opening page, the brilliantly-titled You Had Me At Merlot is quite simply the freshest, feistiest and most utterly fabulous book we’ve read in yonks. Author Lisa Dickenson has a deliciously warm, effortlessly modern and totally irresistible style of writing, and we lapped up every single word of this romantic comedy gem. Perfect for your summer holiday abroad or just a typically wet British Sunday afternoon curled up with a glass of wine in hand, wherever you read it, just make sure you do. As soon as we put it down, we wanted to pick it back up and start reading all over again – it’s that good!
