Story
Jill Mansell's hugely entertaining best seller Good at Games is perfect for you if you love listening to Cathy Kelly, Milly Johnson and Lucy Diamond. Suzy fell for Harry the moment she showed him her husband's sperm sample. It didn't really belong to her husband, though, because she wasn't married. It wasn't a sperm sample, either, it was a drinks carton containing the dregs of her milkshake.

Story
Sheer Mischief by best-selling author Jill Mansell is an unmissable romantic comedy about sisterly love and rivalry.... Not to be missed by listeners of Sophie Kinsella and Marian Keyes. It's not that Janey Sinclair isn't pleased to see her sister. It's just that being woken at seven by Maxine, complete with police escort, isn't quite how she'd planned to spend her Sunday. Even so, Janey, who's just rebuilding her life after her husband disappeared, is delighted that her sister's back in the Cornish town where they grew up.

Good when you're on the road
I got into audio books since it is a 5 hour drive until my home town, I enjoy reading through it but it gives me headaches, so I thought listening to a book seems like a wonderful idea, and it is. The narrator was fine, although it was a little odd to hear her try to imitate man voices. It breaks the immersion for a while, but I got used to it eventually. Also her accents seem a bit off, but overall, I liked her.
Now, regarding the novel... Not my favourite from Jill Mansell, but still better than Perfect Timing. The characters were ok, there were several moments that brought a smile on my face, but... Tilly is not a very compelling character, Erin feels like a doormat, Stella was waaaay too much a caricature and don't get me started how Kaye and Parker truly loved each other after 3 freaking days. LOVE! not attraction, not lust, but love, so much so that she gave up her career to be with him, because clearly he was too smart to throw away his life to be with a woman he barely met, but loooved so much... Sorry, that part of the book was too exagerated, even for a rom com like this.
I was pleasanly surprised by Max's character, I didn't feel he was stereotypical, although some may comment on his interior design job.
So, all in all, a nice read when you're on the go.
