The Last Available Man

This book by Cindy Blake is everything you could ask for in good chick lit. The story follows step-sisters Georgina and Jessica, who decide that they are sick of ending up on dates with no future. They feel the solution is to put their skills as head hunters into action to find themselves some real romantic prospects...

With their lengthy client list, and the help of Sadie their trusted PA, Georgina and Jessica begin their search. This leads them to cross the Atlantic and suffer more twists and turns than the scariest white knuckle rollercoaster. The ending is just one twist after another, which may take a little concentration but is so unexpected you really won’t mind.

Some of the initial dates will make everyone cringe – even if you haven’t been on a date that bad, you will remember one similar or know a friend who has. The nature of the book with all its twists will again make you cringe, if this book was made into a film or tv series its definitely one you’d end up screaming at the screen!

One of the nice things about this book is that even the smallest of characters is well written and believable, and Blake’s writing instantly conjures a mental image of each new scene and character. This combined with many genuine laugh out loud moments makes this book a really great read. Its definitely one you could take on the beach, the tube, or even sit curled up with it and a cuppa and box of chocolates in the middle of winter and still enjoy it. [Jenni Nock]
