Oh that's a great book, someone should write a follow-up for these times.

I really enjoyed How Can I Resist You but the one I just finished and squeezed in a review for today, Buchi Emecheta's "Double Yoke" was a superb read!

Image is of the paperback on a light wood surface, with a weird photograph I can't really describe of a couple sort of melding into each other while sitting next to one another.
