If you're looking for a chick-lit romance then this might not be the book for you. To begin with you're probably not going to be ''that'' keen on Kitty. Right after the court case she's thinking only about herself and she's still very much the television presenter. It takes a while - and Constance's death - to ground her again, to make her realise what's important in life. And she's going to have to face a few dirty tricks (some more literally so than others) before she sorts herself out. Romance is there, but it's incidental. The story is the story of the hundred names.
It's not difficult to guess at the connection between the names but that doesn't really matter. What is important is the individual stories told by the few people that Kitty manages to contact. There's a wide range of ages and people from all walks of life but in talking to her contacts Kitty gradually comes to realise more about her own life. It is, you can see, just a little more unusual than a chicklit romance! I'd like to thank the publishers for dropping a copy in to the Bookbag. We also have a review of Ahern's [[The Marble Collector by Cecelia Ahern|The Marble Collector]].
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern|A Place Called Here]] which is also by Cecelia Ahern or [[Anybody Out There? by Marian Keyes]].
