Work detailsGetting Over It by Anna Maxted
None. Helen Bradshaw's father has just died of a heart attack. Helen's selfish mother is falling apart. Helen herself isn't doing too well: unresolved issues about her father, roommate problems, boss from hell, etc. This is chick lit but with a few dark edges that keep it interesting and fun. (  )1   CatieN | Feb 13, 2010 |  Found in Watsonia op shop and then found to be AWOL from the University of Melbourne Baillieu library and must go back .... but I'll try to read it first. (  ) wodfest | Dec 20, 2009 | I've read this book about 25 times minimum. It always makes me laugh. It's deep, funny, very accessible, and overall, I think it's an excellent book. I recommend it all the time. (  )1 KateLeDonne | Oct 17, 2009 | Picked it up, put it down. Picked it up, put it down. read the blurb. Re-read the blurb. Got it recommended. Saw it recommended to others. Almost returned it to the library unread again. But it was the last one of my books to read in Canberra. it was better than I thought it would be, but I wouldn't have missed it too much either. (  ) kikilon | Mar 31, 2009 | I have acquired a few by this author, through charity shop buys and swopping. I thought it best to start with her first novel and I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be throw-away chick lit. It wasn't. I read the blurb expecting your Bridget Jones type of character and Helen Bradshaw was nothing of the sort. There are parts of the novel were you do have to suspend reality (but isn't that the joy of chick-lit?) but Helen goes through some traumatic events - most of which are identified on the blurb. I enjoyed every aspect of this novel, reading about her job, her family, her boyfriends and her friends. I felt comforted and cosy, just what you want when you want to curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine and some choccies! When I first picked up the book I was worried about how Anna Maxted would fill all those pages with something readable. I was wrong. I sincerely look forward to reading all the others on my shelves, although I hope they don't become formulaic. (  ) SmithSJ01 | Mar 23, 2008 | no reviews | add a review
