A light fun read with some great humor and cute dog. I didn't like the main character, Bella, at first but she grew on me. I took the book on vacation and it was a perfect book to relax and kick back with. ( )

The is just a good fluffy chick lit beach read nothing more or less. ( )

Very light - even for a summer read. The local references me kept me reading, plus the fact that I have really enjoyed some of Claire Cook's other works. ( )

This book was through the Early Reviewers group. It was just OK...nothing more...nothing less. I found the characters a bit lacking, as well as the plot and writing. Just a quick read, that I will donate to my local library.

Since I forgot to write my review when I first got this book, I did a re-read of it so I would have the facts fresh in my mind. For some reason I remember disliking this book on first reading, but this time I loved it. I will admit the constant endorsements irritated the heck out of me, but after a while I could see it for what it really was a satirical poke at fashion heavy chick lit where there is always one or two know- it -all fashionistas.

I felt sad for Bella and not the contempt that most people might feel for someone who takes the opportunity to whine aver a lost love. I applauded her and her small tantrum against her ex Craig and even fully understand the sad, revenge pity sex she had with him.. I too, think that blood is thicker than water; even half-blood ,and one never poaches on a sisters soon-to-be ex or ex anything. I was frustrated with the family's lack of understanding. I rejoiced when Bella started living life for herself and growing into a much much stronger woman and finding out that she didn't need her family for everything in hr life.

All in all this was a great short and easy to read novel, that will give you a few belly laughs, make you think, and as a bonus, give you some interesting make-up tips! I wish I had a girl-friend like Bella even knowing that she came complete with her nutsy family and a Cannoli! ( )
