"Jill Mansell books always have a happy ending and sometimes you just need a book you know you will be happy at the end of :)."

"http://www.anurseandabook.com/2016/09/you-and-me-always-by-jill-mansell.html<br/>I love Jill Mansell's books, but this one didn't knock it out of the park for me. I honestly don't know what it was - maybe I'm getting old, but there wasn't much difference between the characters, and honestly, I had a hard time keeping the women all straight.<br/>The book starts out with a letter from Lily's mom, who died when she was young, and I thought it would figure more prominently throughout the book, but it really didn't - except to bring in another character.<br/>Lily meets a celebrity who seems to fall in love with her fairly quickly, while her childhood friend, Dan, who seems to be quite a party hound, is trying not to admit his feelings for Lily have developed into something greater than friendship.<br/>I don't know - the characters were all so muddled. I still finished it and it was okay, but definitely not her best. But based on her Goodreads rating, I may have been the only one who felt this way. I've always enjoyed her books, so I"m just writing this off as "not for me".<br/>"
