Frankie Rowley is far too practical to believe in karma or fate . . . Work-obsessed Frankie is also far too busy to spend time with her family or friends. They all reckon the strongest relationship she has is with her phone. (And why not? At least it never judges her when she cancels dinner for the millionth time). So when she loses that precious phone on a crucial business trip to San Francisco, Frankie is beside herself - her life was on it. Sure, Frankie can make and take calls on a hired phone, but it's not the same. This new phone isn't a part of her like the old one. And the last straw is when she starts getting texts meant for someone else - someone called Aimee. This Aimee seems like a lot of fun, and clearly her family loves to keep in touch, but why is Frankie getting her messages? Bad enough that she has lost her old phone, but now Frankie is supposed to share her new one with some stranger. Frankie goes on the warpath, but she is in for some surprises when she blunders into Aimee's life. And the biggest surprise of all is how your life can be changed forever by losing a phone. Frankie may not believe in karma or fate, but suddenly they seem to believe in her . . . Praise for Niamh Greene 'Greene's wicked sense of humour provides much needed relief in these recessionary times.' Irish Independent'This author is capable of being very very funny.' Sunday Independent 'Hilariously written but anchored in real life, this will keep you laughing all the way.' Woman'You'll love this tale of wrong turns, romance and reinvention.'

Total predictability did not diminish the appeal of this beach-read/romance with a touch of the Irish in it.

Francesca (“Frankie”) Rowley is a struggling literary agent in Dublin, involved in a relationship with calculating, manipulative Gary Elverson, managing director of a big publishing house. Gary convinces Frankie to fly to San Francisco to try and get a contract for Gary with a famous but reclusive writer.

Frankie loses her phone on the plane, and rents a holiday phone at the airport on the advice of her new friend from the trip over, Rosie Kelly. But the rental phone apparently still uses a number previously assigned; Frankie starts getting text messages meant for someone else. Before long, Frankie’s life is a bit out of control, taking turns she never would have anticipated.

Evaluation: This is the perfect confection for an airplane or day at the beach. The book is very cute with delightful (if not exactly all that realistic) characters, and I loved the bits of Irish syntax and culture framing the story. ( )
