Just Like Heaven was a huge improvement, though it did seem a tad reminiscent of the same basic plot as The Secret Diaries in the introductory chapters (young noble girl must find husband, falls in love with a family friend, mishaps and misunderstandings occur, ensue and are, eventually, overcome).Ms. Happily for me, it delivered on all counts, proving to be a charming and diverting story.I had read one novel prior to this by the same author (The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever), which was a merely decent novel, though with lovely prose. D) all of the above.This is clearly more romance novel-ish than I usually read, but it was set in 1825 London/Cambridge and it sounded so cheekily fun, I went against my grain and decided to give it a try. I saw Just Like Heaven and looked at the blurb on the back:Honoria Smythe-Smith is:A) a really bad violinist B) still miffed at being nicknamed 'Bug' as a child C) not in love with her older brother's best friend D) all of the aboveMarcus Holroyd is:A) the Earl of Chatteris B) regrettably prone to sprained ankles C) not in love with his best friend's younger sister D) all of the aboveTogether they:A) eat quite a bit of chocolate cake B) survive a deadly fever and the world's worst musical performance C) fall quite desperately in loveIt's Julia Quinn at her best, so you know the answer is. After reading three pretty emotionally fraught novels (Games to Play After Dark, Lock and Key, The Truth About Forever) I was in desperate need for something light, easy, fluffy, fun and cute.
