Estate agent Suzy Curtis finds herself becoming very publicly engaged to policeman Harry who has recently been in the news and is seen as being something of a small town hero. The problem is that Suzy doesn't love Harry and she suspects she is in love with his brother Leo. How can she let Harry down lightly and find out if Leo loves her back?
There are lots of other story lines in this madcap rom-com and a whole host of characters including Suzy's ex rock star husband, his new girlfriend, his housekeeper, Suzy's workmates and her family, including a recently discovered half sister.
Set in Bristol, it's written in Jill Mansell's usual fun lighthearted style and is an easy read that's a perfect beach type book. Having said that, for me, it wasn't one of her best books, I didn't love any of the characters and so wasn't rooting for them and the storyline and the situations in it were somewhat shallow and rather silly.
If you are a huge Jill Mansell fan then maybe you will like Good at Games, otherwise, I would be inclined to give it a miss and read some of her other books.
(Good at Games was published in 2008 in the UK but has only recently been released here in the US.)
