Confessions of an Ex-Girlfriend
| Author | Lynda Curnyn |
| ISBN | 0373250150 |
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???...

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 found this book to be so offensively bad, and such a complete waste of my time that I did something I've never done before........I wrote the author. Quick read? You bet. Simple language?
