A confession – I am a sucker for this kind of London love story chick lit, and I read this at one sitting (or lying, seeing it was an evening-and-into-the-night bedtime read).
The lure with these novels is that they feature characters and situations that are similar to those encountered in my 30-something world, and it’s all the more so in Vince & Joy which follows the relationship between the two main characters from 1980s first love holiday romance through 20 something loves and lives in the 90s and up to the present day. Strong characters and situations provide depth and emotion, and whilst there is always going to be a happy ending, you know the path to it is not going to be straighforward.

I agree!
Vince and Joy was one of the best chick lit books i have ever read. I’m a massive chick lit fan! In my opinion the best chick lit authors include Lisa Jewell (have you read 31 dream street?) Sophie Kinsella, Louise Candlish, Claudia Carroll (my fave!), Cecelia Ahern and Marian Keyes
