‘Head buried in the sand,' she said. ‘Typical Dot.'

I frowned but didn't feel able to challenge the statement. I knew she had a point. My tendency to refuse to confront personal challenges and consider their consequences until my nose was pressed up against them was undeniable. In my defence, it was an approach that on the whole seemed to work reasonably well. It cut down considerably on the amount of time spent worrying and stressing about things, and, nine times out of ten, a last-minute fix was just as good as a lengthy, considered and, in my opinion, tortured approach.

However, like it or not, I had to admit that this was not one of those times. This was definitely the one in ten.

Cute and funny (and occasionally very British) rom-com.

I liked Dot and Felix - though it took me a while with Felix, and I sometimes wanted to shake some sense into Dot... All those near misses were a bit frustrating at times, but I liked how the story played out in the end.
