Author: Gemma Townley
Publication Year: 2008
Synopsis: Jessica Wild always had a sensible head on her shoulders. Raised by her no-nonsense grandmother, Jessica didn't have time for relationships and frivolity. However, after creating a less-than-thruthful story of her romantic life for an elderly friend, she finds herself in a mess of a situation after finding out she was left a massive inheritence by said elderly friend -- made out to a Mrs. Jessica Milton. Hilarity ensues as Jessica tries to figure out how to collect the inheritence -- by trying to marry the CEO of her company in 50 days.
Thoughts: I really enjoy Gemma Townley novels. In real life, she is sisters with my favourite Chick-Lit author, Sophie Kinsella. Her books are of a very similar calibre to her sister's writings. This is Gemma Townley's most recent book, and I gobbled it up in two days. I was pleasantly surprised to read on the back cover that this is the FIRST in a "Jessica Wild Trilogy"; so I'm eagerly anticipating the next two books in this series. For Sophie Kinsella fans, I see the Jessica Wild character as Gemma Townley's "Becky Bloomwood". A must-read for Chick-Lit lovers!
