Summary

She was just a girl, standing in front of a boy…wishing he looked more like Hugh Grant. Scarlett loves the movies. But does she love sensible fiancé David just as much? With a big white wedding on the horizon, Scarlett really should have decided by now.… When she has the chance to house-sit in Notting Hill - the setting of one of her favourite movies - Scarlett jumps at the chance. But living life like a movie is trickier than it seems, especially when her new neighbour Sean is so irritating. And so irritatingly handsome, too. Scarlett soon finds herself starring in a romantic comedy of her very own. But who will end up as the leading man?

A nice easy listen. Frothy and frivolous!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I enjoyed it but not a literary masterpeice! Just amusing and easy to listen to.

If you’ve listened to books by Ali McNamara before, how does this one compare?

Not listened to any before so had no expectations.

Have you listened to any of Finty Williams’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes, I love her!

If this book were a film would you go see it?

I would wait for the DVD.

Any additional comments?

I did like it and will probably buy the sequel.

Easy listening

Great if you love romantic films. An easy and enjoyable listen. Predictable, but then isn't all romantic fiction. :-)

Very enjoyable

I love films and picked up the parts of the book that mentioned them. What a joy this book is I found myself shouting at Alexa . Easy listen, that you can really escape into. A book I'll listen to over and over. I'd recommend to people that love , movies. and love.

Cuddles and intrigue

I absolutely adored this book. It has left me with a lovely warm feeling of heartfelt romance, love at first sight and that everything happens for a reason. The plot moves along at a fast pace and I felt myself genuinely feeling for Scarlet as she tries hard to find her mother and to choose between her fiancé and new love interest.
It's clear from fairly early on that the best man for her is Sean, and you really want her to realise this. The film references and Scarlet's interest in living life as if she is in the films is also a treat.
If you want a great big warm hug of a book, with an endearing love story, then this book is for you.

loved it!

I enjoyed the book very much, I thought about my daughter saying every situation has a 'Friends' episode to cover it and that summed the ideas in the book up. I had also seen all the films that are mentioned and found that I was thinking about how life is like the movies!!! Good chick lit.

Pure chick lit bliss!

If you could sum up From Notting Hill with Love...Actually in three words, what would they be?

Sugary sweet goodness

What was one of the most memorable moments of From Notting Hill with Love...Actually?

The ending, i wont spoil it! It wasnt expected but i loved it.

What does Finty Williams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Brilliant story telling, emotion, really engages you and draws you into the story.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both! It is really moving in places.

Any additional comments?

If you want an easy listen with a good mushy love story then this is for you. Its one of the best chick lit ive read recently.
I am definitely getting the next book!
