A fabulous first novel by a British writer, whose smart-as-paint heroine Sophie is a food obsessive working in supermarket pudding development. Her new boyfriend James seems too good to be true - and, unfortunately, he is. In making the fabulous Sophie fall for such a cad, Newman possibly stretches the ‘love-is-blind’ idea slightly further than it will go, but her writing is witty and snappy and she is hilarious on the food industry, with a wit that would not disgrace television’s The Office. Being a little out of touch myself on the subject, I also found her fascinating on the methodology of contemporary dating.
