Just Like Heaven

by Julia Quinn, 384 pages

Honoria Smyth-Smith knows that her family's annual musical is a disaster. Each year, four Smyth-Smith cousins gather to butcher Mozart in the most appalling manner possible.  But Honoria feels it's her duty to support the family tradition with a smile... even if it means scaring off suitors.  She and her cousins hope a house party near Oxford will be enough to attract the attention of a few bachelors.  When an old family friend, Marcus Holroyd, turns up in town Honoria encourages him to stay away from the party as he always seems to scare away suitors.  However, Marcus has promised Honoria's brother that he'd keep an eye on her which might require more effort than he'd planned on expending.

Quinn's stories are funny and heartwarming, and "Just Like Heaven" lives up to her usual flair.  Her characters are quirky and lovable, and the story had me turning pages to the very end!
