Mermaid Hair and I Don't Care

by C.J. Morrow

There are two certainties in Lily Ward’s life:

But a last minute holiday and office politics are about to cast doubt on those certainties and turn her world upside down.

Can Lily weather the storm, uncover the secrets of success, survive the hand of fate and achieve happiness?

The perfect read for beach, train or sofa.

For lovers of quirky British romcom and chicklit.

About the author

CJ Morrow writes the kind of fiction she likes to read and since her taste is varied so are her books. She loves a romcom with a guaranteed happy ending, equally she loves a psychological thriller especially where the ending is a plausible shocker.

When she doesn't like what's going on in the world, she writes another one.

Word weaver, lover of things curious, unseen and unexplainable, general wordy person. Always watching and laughing, mostly at herself.

En resumen: Me gusta la forma de escribir de la autora, no me convenció la protagonista, y aprecié el toque de realismo mágico (que es pequeño), aunque el fantasma no tenga prácticamente conexión con los protagonistas.

Cute! The H is a little annoying at first but everything works out nicely at the end.

Lovely romantic romp

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are relatable and the story has enough twists and turns, but is still straightforward. A good read.

Nice romance with twists

This is a good romance set in Europe. I love the beach romance story turned corporate job success story. Good read

Go for it. Kind of contains spoiler's

I'm pretty sure I've said it before but this is another hit by CJ Morrow.
This story is set mainly in Devon. It's the story of Lily trying to get control of her life and decide what she wants. She meets a charming man and starts a 'no past, no future' holiday fling. The charming man then appears in her real life. There is a little twinkling of magic too
The story is so well written and the characters instantly likeable, although I'm not sure about Damion, that you feel very quickly that you know them and are invested in Lily's life. There are definitely some proper laugh out loud moments, especially with Gemma.
I'd definitely recommend everyone to read CJ's books.

Cute Story as always.

I absolutely LOVED this book. It combines all the factors that (in my opinion) make a great book: romance, humor, surprising twists, and a strong female character.
I enjoyed the story so much and fell in love with Lily and Jackson.
2020 had been a yikes year. I didn't enjoy it, but the one of the few good things it brought me is the time to discover C.J Morrow's books. I've read four of them so far, and I loved them all. Thanks C.J for giving me some fun escape stories for this crazy time we are experiencing.

British quirky romance is a favorite of mine, so enjoyed this book which is a fun light read. Liked the main character and enjoyed the best friends and the semi-protagonist friend as well. Characters were developed enough that the reader could develop an affinity for them and feel a part of this story. Plot was predictable but still well written, so wasn't boring going along for the ride.

Clearly I have different tastes than all these five-star reviews -- I thought it *was* unrealistic and a bit ridiculous. More than that, the characters weren't particularly likeable, nor was the plot all that engaging or unputdownable. But it seems this is one of those books that you'll need to decide for yourself.

A Good Read

This book seems to run the emotional gamut from sad to funny, then back to sad, then back to funny again, touching all the highlights in between. It's a feel good book that I really enjoyed.

Enjoyable

Nice little romantic comedy. Kept me entertained throughout both stories. I enjoyed the twists and the oh-so-real moments that I could feel happening to any of us. Thanks for a well-written story.

This story by CJ Morrow is a winner for me. Lily and Jackson meet in Devon and have a no strings holiday romance, then go back to their normal lives. However, in the corporate world, it’s amazing who you can run in to and why. Recommended.

Beachy read...

This book is a cute beachy romp that has a touch of magic that surprises you. First book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Fun read

I couldn't stop reading. I needed to find out Lily's choices! It's a fun, romantic story with a lovable and fallible main character.

Great!

I always love it when I learn something new from a book aside from the story and this book did just that. Very enjoyable.

Chick lit

[Cyndi A. Barber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed it

Lighthearted and easy read if a bit predictable. Enjoyed the imagery and comedic aspects of the story line and it got me through my time on the treadmill quite nicely.

[CYNTHIA · Rating 5 out of 5]

A laugh out novel

Very romantic and funny. I really would add it a little of foreplay in the sex part, not graphic. A little more romance. But, I really enjoy it.

[Terri Trainor · Rating 5 out of 5]
