I'm just glad this is fiction. ( )

This was a bookclub choice. All the other members refused to take it - literary snobs! I quite enjoyed it. It was light and frothy and obvious very early on what was going to happen. The book will date very quickly due to all the fashion stuff and is certainly not of any intellectual consequence. It is however sqeaky clean and innocent. A feel-good book ( )

I was really excited to read this book, because I'm somewhat of a shopaholic, and I sell clothing on eBay, just like the main character. However, I was somewhat disappointed in this book.

The way the main character, Annie, speaks was just downright annoying. All the "babes" and "darlin"s that kept popping up drove me crazy. I wanted to slap her! And I just could not believe how quickly she capitulated in her job, or furthered her relationships - seemed unrealistic. Annie was flawed, and not in a particularly interesting way.

Underneath the annoying characterization, the premise of the story wasn't bad. I didn't see the twist coming at all, and I did like the main love interest (the one she ends up with at the end). The other characters in this book were much better written (Annie's children in particular).

But, I never really felt compelled to keep reading - I didn't look forward to reading this. Picking up this book was a little like a chore, and once I was halfway through, I was reading just to finish it, not because it was really, really good.

Overall impression: Could have been better! ( )

This book is very pink and very chicky. If you like light reading, choose this one. You could happily while away an afternoon whilst drinking wine and eating chocolate
