by Sandi Toksvig
Fiction
I've been a fan of Toksvig for many years, though I've never read any of her fiction before. I'm not sure this was the best novel to start with, I was certainly expecting more. While the characters are colourful, they're largely cardboard cut outs. The plot is standard "chick lit" fare, though it is enlivened with some of the witty observations you'd expect from Toksvig...just not enough of them.
Not a great novel, though an easy read that does raise a smile along the way, but not bad enough to stop me trying another of Toksvig's books in the future.
