Don't Want To Miss A Thing is a great chick-lit beach reach. Interesting characters, funny one-liners, romantic tensions (will they, won't they, even though you know they will), and happy endings for everyone.Jill Mansell is English so her novels have an additional level of enjoyment since I get a kick out of English vernacular.
For example, when something is Disney, it means that something is cheesy. A muppet is a fool, a silly person.
To rumble something is to find someone out, as in someone is rumbled. In the States, rumbling has a more bad ass connotation.
The English'ism is particularly enjoyable for me as I love asking my boyfriend to help me figure out what his people are saying.
There are also references to English popular culture, such as pulling a Darren Brown, the UK version of David Blaine.
Of particular enjoyment is the Darren Brown reference since my boyfriend went to high school with Darren Brown. He was amused by the Darren Brown reference and I was amused by being able to tell him about this as proof of how English I have become (or, like to pretend that I've become).
