Description
Katie Horgan is going places: soon she'll be a partner in the prestigious law firm where she works. Her love life, on the other hand, is going nowhere. That is, until she meets Jim Donnelly. Jim is brilliant, handsome and, like her parents, Irish. The only problem is that he already has a girlfriend. When Katie is sent to Ireland as part of her training, she happily settles into life in Dublin, where she works in a clinic that provides free legal advice to the homeless. She befriends Mags, who's warm and quirky and comes with a big entourage of friends. When she's not working or socialising, Katie is trying to track down her long-lost extended family. The icing on the cake is when Jim Donnelly comes home on a visit - but as their relationship deepens, Mags' friendliness cools. Then disaster strikes and there are many shocks in store for Katie as everyone - including her parents - shows their true colours. Life and love are not as black and white as Katie always thought...

High Potential (Ber Carroll, Macmillan, $32.99 tpb, ISBN 9781405038768, July) ***

Katie Horgan is a hard-working Sydney lawyer on the cusp of becoming a partner in her prestigious law firm. Just as she is about to be sent to Ireland as part of her training Katie meets the brilliant and handsome Jim Donnelly, who, like her parents, is Irish. Katie soon settles into the Dublin lifestyle, working in a clinic providing free advice for the homeless and making friends with the warm and quirky Mags. When not working, Katie attempts to track down her long-lost extended family. Her previous attempts to glean information from her mother had resulted in frosty silence. Eventually, disaster strikes and after a series of miscommunications and shocking revelations Katie discovers that life and love aren’t as black and white as she’d always thought. I enjoyed this book and managed to read it in just two sittings. It is a very decent example of Aussie chick-lit. The ingredients were all spot on-believable plot, an engaging pace, and a very likeable but ever so slightly flawed lead character.
