If anyone can remember the title of this book I'll give you a million pounds*

[JorisBonson]

*of gratitude, not real pounds.

Late 90's / early 00's chick lit. She was a daytime TV producer, she had her heart broken by a man who I think was called Simon, he cheated on her. She made him goulash one night.

This is all I can remember and it's driving me mad 🤣

Paprika and prejudice

Jilly Cooper or Jackie Collins? Or even Danielle Steele?

By Jane green?

The charm offensive

Ahahahhaaaaaa!

I wish I knew because I really want a million pounds.

I think it's a Kathy lette book?
Mad cows?

I'll go do some trade arch but o have read that book! It was definitely 90's chick lit

I have Jemima J by Jane Green in my head...

Sounds like something Marian Keyes might write.

Babyville by Jane Green

Could be a Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees

Something by Jane Fallon?

It’s not Jane Green or Marian Keyes.
I know the book but can’t remember the name!

Is it an Adele Parks? I've definitely read it...

I've read this too, shamelessly posting for someone with a better memory, Not Marianne Keyes I don't think.

Still Thinking of You? Adele Parks book about a TV producer... can't see a mention of a Simon on the blurb though...

It's not that. That was the one where she lost a lot of weight and went to live with someone in California!

Oh FFS I mean Game Over. Can't even remember a title from looking it up on Amazon 30 seconds ago, bloody menopause!

I was thinking of Jemima J but she also wrote another one about a woman call Tasha (Anastasia) and she has a heart breaky jaunt with a man called Simon and the book is centred around that. There's a group of female friends, a player type guy and a friendly guy called Adam she eventually gets with. Is that the one OP?

Straight Talking Jane Green

^ If it does happen to be that one it's called Straight Talking

Actually lolled at this

I've also read this and can't remember the name. I'm off to investigate my bookcase...

It's definitely Straight Talking - this is the synopsis:

Meet Tasha—single and still searching. A producer for Britain’s most popular morning show working under a nightmare boss, Tash is well-versed in the trials and tribulations of twenty-first century dating. She and her three best friends certainly haven’t lived the fairy tale they thought they would: there’s Andy, who’s hooked on passion, but too much of a tomboy to have moved much beyond the beer-drinking contest stage; Mel, stuck in a steady but loveless relationship; and Emma, endlessly waiting for her other half to propose. Their love lives are only complicated by the sort of men who seem to drift in and out: Andrew—suave, good-looking and head over heels in love . . . with himself; Simon, who is allergic to commitment but has a bad-boy nature that’s impossible to resist; and Adam—perfectly attractive, but too sweet to be sexy.

it’s Straight Talking - here’s the bit from the book that mentions Simon and Goulash!

Heheh P & P made me chuckle!
