    About this audiobook

    Welcome to Jill Mansell's wonderful world! In the picturesque village of Upper Sisley, everyone thinks they know their neighbors, but nobody knows what scandalous surprise is going to happen next.

    1. An unexpected reunion between two former lovers changes both their families forever.

    2. Old friendships fade and new ones blossom as neighbors begin to see one another in a new light.

    3. A young woman finally asks for what she really wants, a young man atones for bad behavior, and both find that courage brings its own rewards.

    Plus:

    Surprises, companionship, crossed wires, and self-discovery in a story that will leave you completely satisfied, and begging for more.

      I read Ms. Mansell for the lighthearted way she tells a story. But this one was too full of people who didn't value marriage or fidelity and that got in the way of my enjoyment.
    • 1/5
      No stars. Terrible , most boring book ever. I love Jill Mansell. Have read or listened to a lot of her books. This one was just terrible. Too many characters and all of them annoying.
    • 2/5
      I had two books last week from publishers that were at polar opposite ends of the spectrum of "gendered" literature. They both sucked.

      First Blood is the novel that the movie Rambo was based and is total dick lit. Basically, a war vet with PTSD meets a cop with control issues and they spend the rest of the book trying to kill each other for no adequately explored reason. Head Over Heels on the other hand is quintessential chick lit: fluffy romance with no real conflict, just misunderstanding and miscommunication, but then everybody talks and lives happily ever after. Neither book was badly written, both had consistent pacing and both are reprints which were originally published decades ago. And my hatred for both of them is mostly predicated on lack of balance. There is hardly any conversation in First Blood (entire chapters pass with nobody taking to another human being!) and the majority of the characters only exist to be killed off (I was disoriented by how high the body count was). Head over Heels is all talk and no action and by the end of it I was really wishing somebody would be killed (or, even better, several people), because there are far too many characters who only exist to be a romantic interest.

      In a perfect world, Rambo and Sheriff Teasdale are magically transported to Upper Sibley and blow the place to smithereens. Everybody dies, except for Teasdale and Jessie (the main protagonist from Head Over Heels whose relationship with her long-lost love was so inane I nearly puked) who fall in love and build a perfect literary world where people occasionally get killed but everybody talks about it first.

      Thank you to Sourcebooks who sent me a copy of this book for review.
    • 3/5
      This book was okay. My biggest complaint is that there are too many characters with their own storylines. Way too much going on in this book. The author would have done better to develop the main characters a little more instead of adding so much detritus to the story.
    • 3/5
      I loved this book, the different character's story lines were nicely interwoven and they were all very believable. this could easily have continued on to a subsequent book charting the lives of the new couples.
    • 3/5
      Chick-lit about married people. They all get each other in the end. A good read, but not really a great story. Why did none of the children mind the split up of their parents? Because it did not fit in the story?
    • 4/5
      I began this novel feeling sceptical, but I really enjoyed it. An easy to read tale of life in a small English village, and all the town-gossips that come with it. Faces the issue of prejudice, but not in any depth.
    • 3/5
      Readable if a bit predictable story of life in a village, wich changes when a film star; Tony Gillespie; comes to live in it. It turns out that Jessie's son is his from an old relationship, something he works out quite quickly. Tangled webs started to be unravelled and after several adventures people discover things about themselves and others.
