"From Notting Hill, With Love...Actually"

I've just finished the most amazing book!  I've been dying to read it since it came out and finally broke down and bought it this weekend. 430 pages and 3 days later, I'm finished and wishing she'd write another one pronto!  As a chick and a fan of all things chick-flick, of course I'm in love with "Notting Hill" and "Love...Actually" ("Love...Actually" is actually in my top 5 movies of all time).  A book that joined both would have to be pretty spectacular and it so was.

It's a fairly simple love story but the best part was that I could almost hear myself in the main character, Scarlet.  She's obsessed with movies and the cinema and is looking for some of that magic in her life.  I'm not a big movie buff, but I often assume that life will turn out like it does in the movies and TV.  After she goes looking for those kinds of experiences by taking off to London, where much hilarity ensues and she realizes that love...actually is all around (heehee, see what I did there?!). 

It's one of those books that I'm hoping my friends and family will read.  After a quick read, I kinda hope they may not think I'm so out there anymore.  All in all, a fabulous read!
