    About this ebook

    She was a girl, standing in front of a boy...

    Movie fanatic Scarlett O'Brien dreams of a life as glamorous and romantic as all the big screen flicks she worships. When a chance house-sitting job in iconic Notting Hill comes along, she knows living in one of her favorite movie settings is an opportunity too good to pass up.

    Leaving behind her skeptical friends, family, and fiance, Scarlett heads to London and finds herself thrust into the lead role of her very own romantic comedy. But can real life ever be just like the movies? Larger-than-life new friends, a handsome but irksome new neighbor, and a mystery from her past may prove to Scarlett that living her life like a RomCom is more complicated than she thought!

    "Sparkly, fun, and endearing."—Kate Fforde

    "This romantic comedy is the perfect way to pass a winter afternoon should Johnny Depp be unavailable."—Daily Record

      Scarlett wishes she were living in a movie - which bugs everyone around her including her fiance. I liked Scarlett and wasn't sympathetic to the complaints of those around her. I liked Sean simply because he wasn't trying to get Scarlett to give up something she loved. Scarlett herself was a bit shallow - she had half formed ideas of what she should do, what is real love, and what the people around her want for her. But the purpose of the book - to have a romantic ending - was amply fulfilled.

      Witty and weepy. Good mix.

      What a wonderful British Chick Lit story! This totally quirky, romantic comedy will leave a smile on your face. Now the first chapter was just a bit cheesy for me but once I got past it then I couldn’t put it down.I loved all the movie references! I did think that Scarlett was a bit extreme in how much she loved movies but that really is what made her personality interesting. I really didn’t like her fiancé David though. I didn’t get the feel that he really loved her and that he just wanted Scarlett to fit his needs. Sean on the other hand was much more interesting and he also seemed to have a bit more depth to him than a few of the other characters.I recommend this wonderful book to anyone who wants something fun and light to read. I know I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one in this series.

      A breezy, feel-good British romantic comedy about a young woman who sees movie situations in her real life—though not always in a good way! I loved this little gem, and I'm looking forward to the second book.
    • 2/5
      I honestly think this is one of the worst books I've ever read. The characters are flat with almost zero development. The book was about 50 or so pages longer than it needed to be. It said in the blurb that this was this author's first book, which means she has room for improvement. I just don't know if I'd pick up another one of her books.

      While I may at some point revisit this book and attempt to finish it that is unlikely to happen any time soon. Over 100 pages in and I still have a bored sense of waiting for the story to begin. The premise sounded interesting but at least for this reader falls woefully short despite a few very funny scenes.

      Cute premise, but at 312 pages it was about 75 pages longer than it needed to be. 2.5 stars.

      I know some people really enjoyed this (including a good friend of mine!), but I couldn't do it. I understand the concept was that the main character is obsessed w/ movies, but McNamara took it too far and made too little story up herself. The characters are flatter than 2-dimensional, and if the ooooooobvious love interest grins one more time.......... argh.
