THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING MARRIED: Gemma Townley: Ballantine: Romance: 337 pagesJessica Wild befriended Grace, an elderly woman who desperately wanted Jessica to find love, in her grandmother’s nursing home. In order to appease Grace, Jessica invented a romance with her boss, Anthony Milton, and the story grew until Grace believed Jessica and Anthony were married. Now Grace has died and left her four million pound estate to Jessica, but the will specifies that Jessica Milton inherits, meaning Jessica has just 50 days to seduce and marry her boss, if she wants to claim the inheritance.
The requisite struggles, misunderstandings, and mishaps found in all chick lit stories are fresh and fun as Jess works against time to win over Anthony while delaying meetings with the solicitor who believes she’s already married. While there is some strong language in the story, there’s no graphic sex, making this a good selection for readers who like gentler chick lit.
