Although I like chicklits, I didn't really like this one. Maybe it is because of the nagging main character Emma. She is always complaining that she is overweight and that is the reason why nobody wants her. Is it really so difficult to make a main character which may be overweight but is happy with herself???...

The darker vision and sexual ambiguities of this erotic, ironic tale about a ménage a quatre in a New England university town foreshadow those of The World According to Garp; but this very trim and precise novel is a marked departure from the author's generally robust, boisterous style. Though Mr....

I'd say this was really like a 3.5-3.75 stars.

I have never read anything by Lee Nichols, but always thought the book sounded like a cute Chick Lit read I might enjoy. I was especially into Chick Lit when I added this to my TBR List, so it's been there for quite awhile. And one of my New Years reading...

I liked this book. As with most Red Dress Ink books it is pure chick lit, which I love. Here was my only complaint- and I know it is going to make me sound like a huge prude. The amount the women in this book drink seems completely ludicrous to me. I am only a few years older than them, and, while I am undeniably...

I gave up on this book because I HATED the main character and got tired of her insulting pretty much everybody, including overweight people. (Not other characters in the book, mind you; these were general rules to be applied to all of humankind.) Maybe she redeemed herself later in the book, but I wasn't...

I absoluted adored this book.
Firstly I found the main character Rose likable and lovely. I thought she was just like the sort of character you want to read about. I loved her job and how she gradually realised through the book why she loves it so much.
Secondly the romance is lovely in this book,...
