About this ebook

From the Sunday Times bestselling author

‘The feeling you get when you read a Milly Johnson book should be bottled and made available on the NHS’ Debbie Johnson

Four friends, two crushes and a secret ...

After a bruising divorce, headstrong Juliet Miller invests in a flat and advertises for a flatmate, little believing that in her late thirties she'll find anyone suitable. But along comes self-employed copywriter Floz, raw from her own relationship split, and the two woman hit it off. When Juliet's twin brother Guy meets Floz, he is overcome with a massive crush, just as his friend Steve develops the hots for Juliet. But being a shy, gentle giant, Guy communicates so clumsily with Floz as to give her the opposite impression. Can he turn Floz's affection for his family into love for him? And then Juliet makes a discovery, which will turn their lives upside-down ...

Ratings and reviews

It was a bit tricky to read--for some reason there weren't any quotation marks around any of the dialogue in the version I purchased. It drove me crazy at first, but as I got to know the characters more, I learned the difference between their inner thoughts and conversation. All in all another delightful story. I really enjoy these books.

I have read many of Milly Johnson's books and especially like "Here Come the Girls” but I did not enjoy "An Autumn Crush" until the second half. I found it odd that this book was out of line with the author's normal writing style. For some reason, she does not use apostrophes or quotation marks in any of the story - not just in Nick's messages. Obviously, this was intentional, but I found this style to be very distracting when reading this book.

What a thoroughly irritating book. Very little or no punctuation. I had to read so many paragraphs over again, I lost the plot!
