There’s nothin’ like the humdrum. I’d been standing on the corner of Charlotte Street when it happened.

There’s nothin’ like the humdrum. It was maybe six o’clock, and a girl – because yeah, you and I both knew there was going to be a girl; there had to be a girl; there’s always a girl – was struggling with the door of the black cab and the packages in her hands. She had a blue coat and nice shoes, and white bags with names I’d never seen before on them, and boxes, and even, I think, a cactus poking out the top of a Heal’s bag.

Charlotte Street is a British romantic comedy along the same lines as a Nick Hornby novel. After reading uncountable Sci-fi and Fantasy books for the past couple of months, Charlotte Street was a good change. Jason Priestly (not that Jason Priestly) has recently quit his job as a school teacher to become a journalist.

Method: The courts might say stalking. Result: That’d be nice. Conclusion: One step at a time. But the list’s a nice move. See, I knew all about lists like Damien’s ere a Chosen One. Someone regard. Someone regarded as valuable. Someone the PRs would call a ‘journalist friend’, not just a ‘journalist’. You were in the inner circle, invited to lavish events, days out, plied with food and drink, privy to the slaggings-off of other, lesser journalists, who are ‘not like you’. It’s a great place to be. You can network. And I could use this.

My name is Jason - and I have just met the most incredible woman, on Charlotte Street. I sort of held her bags for a second. But she smiled at me! And it was this amazing smile. Of course, I don't know her name, or anything about her at all. But I do happen to have something of hers. She left behind one of those old-school disposable cameras. I've got it. It's here in front of me. So there are two things I could now do: I could develop the photos. See her again, see her life

In some ways, Charlotte Street is the London version of Attachments, by Rainbow Rowell. On the other hand I loved Jason’s friends Dev and Matthew. What I liked about the book: Wallace keeps the plot interesting and fairly original.

In some ways, Charlotte Street is the London version of Attachments, by Rainbow Rowell. By that I mean it’s sort of a rom-com, or at least it’s what you wish passed for a rom-com these days. In a direct comparison, I think Attachments has a leg up on Charlotte Street but both were fun reads. It’s cleverly written and the side characters (most of them) are really the entertaining ones. There’s also a level of detail in the writing that brought this book to life.
