Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Wickham (The Gatecrasher; also, the Shopaholic series as Sophie Kinsella) spins a delightful story of British families forced to spend their vacation together after a mutual friend promises them the same week in his Spanish villa. Chloe Harding hopes that a holiday will soothe the strain between her and longtime partner Philip Murray, who is worried that a recent takeover of his company may cost him his job. Their hopes are dashed when they arrive and find another family already settled at the villa. To Chloe's disappointment, she'll be sharing the space with Hugh Stratton, the beau who broke her heart 15 years ago. Now married to high-maintenance Amanda and with two children, Hugh apologizes, and though Chloe initially expresses nothing but hurt and disdain (all the while keeping their past a secret from Philip), she eventually considers beginning life anew with Hugh. Wickham does a bangup job of creating believable characters—even Amanda is less vapid than she at first seems. Surprises abound as the plot unfolds, and the families begin to wonder whether their mutual friend made an innocent mistake in getting them together. (July)

4.0 out of 5 stars SPARKLING DIALOGUE, AMUSING CHARACTERS, July 1 2008
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sleeping Arrangements (Hardcover)
If you enjoyed the Shopaholic series which Wickham penned as Sophie Kinsella, you'll relish Sleeping Arrangements, especially as narrated by actress Katherine Kellgren. She has an appealing voice that easily expresses emotions with inflection or tone. Having appeared on the stage in London, New York, and Frankfurt, she's also a whiz at accents (many will remember her well for her reading of a Princess Diana bio). Careful listeners will note with appreciation how she carries off a change in the perfectionist, Amanda.

Speaking of Amanda, she has a new kitchen which is her pride and joy. She's wed to Hugh, who labors almost 24/7 to keep her in the style she wishes. Nonetheless, Amanda always seems to find something else that needs to be bought or done. They have two young children, but Hugh feels like he's on a constant treadmill. What he needs is a respite, a vacation.

Relief comes in the form of his good friend, Gerard, who lends the couple his luxurious villa in Spain.

Chloe also needs a vacation from making wedding dresses. Her partner, Philip, has worries of his own - he's concerned that the takeover of his company may cost him his job. This once happy couple is enduring a strained relationship. You may have guessed - help comes in the form of Gerard who offers Chloe the use of his Spanish villa.

Now, leave it to Wickham - Gerard has put both couples in the villa at the same time, and Chloe and Hugh aren't strangers - he's the guy who stole her heart some years back. What a mix-up or was it?

Sparkling dialogue, likable, amusing characters, sharp wit are Wickham's trademarks, and they're all at the fore in this winsome, winning romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleeping Arrangements., Sep 10 2009
By S. Clayton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sleeping Arrangements (Paperback)
This is from the same author of Confessions of a Shopolic and I like the voice, as well. It's basically a story about a family and it's got some really, really interesting characters in it. I really liked it and will check out more from Ms. Wickham. I also recommend Twenties Girl: A Novel.
