Jenny Colgan - Adored Author
One of the most genuinely funny authors of British chick lit, Colgan creates interesting, believable, quirky (but not too quirky) characters relationships and writes truly hilarious dialogue. I loved Amanda's Wedding, wherein our heroine's snobby, bitchy friend is marrying her longtime crush. Wedding sabotage attempts, much drinking, and yes, hilarity ensues. In Looking for Andrew McCarthy, our heroine hits 30 and wonders why life is not a John Hughes movie. Thinks a road trip in America to find Andrew McCarthy is a good solution. And The Boy I Loved Before is a cute romantic comedy fantasy. Flora attends her friend's wedding with her boyfriend, runs into her high school ex, makes a wish, and wakes up the next day as her sixteen-year-old self. All are fun and funny reads.
