From the acclaimed author of Gucci Gucci Coo and Apocalipstick comes a funny, sexy novel about questionable engagements—and a love worthy perhaps of the big screen. Florist Abby Crompton has a knack for arranging the most exquisite bouquets for the hippest clientele. If only her personal life could run as smoothly. Although her fiancé, Toby, proposed a month ago, Abby’s still waiting for the ring. An up-and-coming lawyer, Toby’s been far too busy to shop—let alone muster the energy for romance. If that wasn’t frustrating enough, the night she’s supposed to meet her future mother-in-law, Abby gets stuck in an elevator—with a sexy stranger bearing fine wine. Needless to say, a tipsy Abby arrives late for dinner and doesn’t make the best impression.
In the aftermath of the dinner disaster, Abby is thrilled to learn that a film studio wants to use her shop in an upcoming movie. But when she meets the director, Dan, she’s shocked to discover that he’s none other than the same man with whom she shared the elevator—and some highly personal information. Now, with Toby putting in more overtime, Abby’s feeling even more neglected. And her attraction to Dan is growing daily—as her own life begins to mirror the romantic comedy he’s shooting.
Featuring an irrepressible heroine, Forget Me Knot blooms with charm, wit, and fun.

From Publishers Weekly
This fluffy Brit romance lopes along at a leisurely pace and provides a pleasant journey over the rocky shoals of mismatched love, enduring loyalties and improbably happy endings. Margolis, a master of cutesy titles (Apocalipstick), focuses on business-and-trend-savvy London florist Abby Crompton, who, true to genre form, has a gaggle of quaint acquaintances and relationship woes. She's engaged, but things with Toby aren't quite picture-perfect, and a disastrous dinner with her snooty mom-in-law-to-be leads to a flameout. Rebound Dan, a filmmaker who falls for Abby on first meet (it involves a stuck elevator and an inebriated Abby), is nearly cast aside for keeping parts of his background from the once-burned, twice-shy Abby. Dan proves far wiser than the chip-on-her-shoulder girl from Croydon. Light and quippy, Margolis's newest is perfectly agreeable. (Aug.)
