Review: This Could Change Everything

This Could Change Everything This Could Change Everything by Jill Mansell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

On a girls night in and as a joke Essie writes an honest, open round robin, which is never meant to see the light of day, but when her brother returns from the pub with a friend and sees it sitting on the laptop it gets sent to everyone in Essie's contacts.

When the email goes viral, Essie loses her boyfriend, her home and her job, but when she encounters Zillah life changes in many different ways.

I love Jill Mansell's books, and she has been a favourite author of mine for a number of years and she never fails to disappoint with any of her novels. The characters are truly believable, and I quickly found myself absorbed in their lives, and I wanted to buy a house in the square so that Zillah would be one of my neighbours!

If I'm honest the only problem that I had with this book is that it had to end!
