This was a fun book. Fluffy, but fun. By the author of the "Bridget Jones" books, it's about a journalist whose job forces her to cover "soft" news - fashion, mostly - when what she really wants to do is cover real news stories - world events, terrorism, that sort of thing. The problem is that her boss (and others) don't take her seriously because of her "overactive imagination." So, when she suspects that a French film producer she's met in Florida (while covering the launch of a face cream) is really a member of al-Qaeda, the few people she tells laugh in her face. Even she can't decide if she's jumping to an outlandish conclusion or not, but she decides to pursue "the story" anyway. I won't say more, or I risk spoiling the plot, which was very unbelieveable and over-the-top, but was also totally unpredictable. Unexpected things kept happening that surprised and amused me, and it was a fun ride. Olivia is a great character - sweet, funny, and able to laugh at herself when she's being ridiculous - which she is, at times, as are we all. But she's also right about things more often than not.
