Book Description from Amazon.com
To Libby Mason, Mr. Right has always meant Mr. Rich. A twenty-seven-year-old publicist, she’s barely able to afford her fashionable and fabulous lifestyle, and often has to foot the bill for dates with Struggling Writer Nick, a sexy but perpetually strapped-for-cash guy she’s dating (no commitments–really). So when Ed, Britain’s wealthiest but stodgiest bachelor, enters the picture, her idea of the fairy-tale romance is turned on its head. Libby soon finds herself weighing the advantages of Nick’s sexual prowess and tender heart against Ed’s luxurious lifestyle and unlimited retail therapy. But when the diamond shopping commences, Libby is forced to realize that the time for “maybe” is up.
Taking romantic comedy to a hip, sparkling new level, Mr. Maybe is a classic tale of what happens to one girl when her heart and her head aren’t looking for the same thing. With a laugh a minute and a heroine whose struggles in the dating jungle will remind you of your own, Mr. Maybe is a story that will leave you smitten.
From back cover:
At twenty-seven years old, Libby thinks there's a lot to be said
for a rich husband. So when Nick comes along - lovely, funny,
handsome Nick, who has no money whatsoever, lives in a
grotty North London bedsit and thinks the perfect night out
consists of the pub, his mates and a few pints - she decides
he's only good for a fling.
No strings attached.
Investment banker Ed, on the other hand, could possibly be
the answer. His house in Regent's Park more than makes up for
his hideous moustache, she can probably overlook his
irritating habits, and anyway he's crazy about her. But does
Libby really know what she needs? Is she just in love with being
loved? Is she loving the lifestyle, rather than the man?
Eventually Libby makes her choice.
Let's just hope it's the right one ...

I really enjoyed reading this book and practically read it in one shot. Libby was a great character; I related to her (to a certain extent) and thought she was fairly realistic. However, there were a couple of things that bothered me: did the author have to make Ed a complete bore? I don't think it's bad to have two decent love interests. Second, did Nick have an upper-class raising or not? Lastly, the ending was too abrupt, I would have like there to have been a chapter or epilogue more; seemed to me that there were a few loose ends. Otherwise, I found it to be an easy, fast, and fun read. Jane Green's books haven't disappointed me yet.
