From Notting Hill to New York...Actually by Ali McNamara

****4 stars
What a great follow up book from Notting Hill with Love Actually. I truly enjoyed seeing the character Scarlett again. For a follow-up book I found this very strong. I think a large part of that is the optimistic Scarlett and her sidekick Oscar, along with all the other supportive characters. I do hope we see more of Scarlett in the future :)

Book Jacket Summary:
Scarlett O'Brien, utterly addicted to romantic films, has found her leading man. She's convinced Sean is Mr Right, but the day-to-day reality of a relationship isn't quite like the movies. With Sean constantly away on business, Scarlett and her new best friend Oscar decide to head to New York for the holiday of a lifetime.

From one famous landmark to the next, Scarlett and Oscar make many new friends during their adventure - including sailors in town for Fleet Week, a famous film star, and Jamie & Max, a TV reporter and cameraman. Scarlett finds herself strangely drawn to Jamie, they appear to have much in common: a love of films and Jamie's search for a parent he never knew. But Scarlett has to ask herself why she is reacting like this to another man when she's so in love with Sean . . .
