I've never read this author before, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It started as something light and typically chick-lit, and ended up as something more.
Serenity is new in London. She's working as a receptionist in her boyfriend's plastic surgery clinic, but her real goal is to write for a British tabloid. The idea to write an expose on one of the clinic's male patients nabs Serenity a regular column, but she's told to work undercover, and she keeps the column a secret from both the patient and her boyfriend.
As Serenity and Jeremy (the subject of her expose) become close friends, she struggles with the weight of her lies and deception--if Jeremy, or her boyfriend Peter find out, they will both be furious.
About 2/3 of the way through this book, things took a serious turn that I didn't quite expect. However, Roland does a great job of keeping us hooked, and keeping us sympathizing with Serenity, even when her actions are none-too-sympathetic.
Loved the ending, and just read in an author interview that she's working on a sequel, which I will be anxiously awaiting!
4/5 stars
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, Claire! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
