TSS: Rumor Has It by Jill Mansell

Jill Mansell's Rumor Has It makes it's US debut just in time for the fun summer reading season! Newly single Tilly Cole impulsively moves from London to a small village, only to find she's arrived in a hotbed of gossip and intrigue.

Taking a job as Girl Friday to interior design Max, Tilly comes into contact frequently with his good friend Jack, the most desirable man in town, with the reputation of a playboy whose bedpost has been chopped down with all the notches it has received. Warned off Jack by Max, her friend Erin, and Max's teenage daughter Lou, Tilly has no intention of falling for Jack. But the thoughtful, reliable man she comes to see as a friend, doesn't seem to fit the image the village has of him. The confusing messages keep Tilly wondering about Jack and his intentions, as she navigates her busy days helping Lou with fashion and boys, gluing Swarovski crystals to ceilings for crazed clients of Max, and avoiding Jack's many manic conquests, who are suspicious of her friendship with him.
Another great story from bestselling U.K. author Jill Mansell, Rumor Has Itbrings us quirky English village life at its very best, with interesting characters, gossip, and romantic machinations. Definitely put this on your summer reading and book club lists for a book that will make you laugh out loud often, while you worry and commiserate with Tilly about her situation with Jack.
