Here and there I was thinking that this wasn't that terrific a novel, but by the end I was cheering for Jennifer yet again. A great ending. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It is light and breezy and the writing was hilarious. Obviously not a deep thoughts book, but if you are looking for a quick read, pick it up!

I received this book through the Early Reviewers. What an interesting read. There were parts I did not love, but I alway try to focus on the positives. I read and I enjoyed it for the most part, but it was not my favorite read. ( )

I recevied this book through Early Reviewers. This was a light read that made me laugh out loud quite a bit. Jennifer has finally married the man of her dreams, or so she thought. Brad turns out to be a jerk in more ways than one.When your mother in-law is living right next door and trying to fit into the country club set things aren't as picture perfect as she had hoped. Jennifer does her best with alot of funny errors along the way. A cute read. ( )

I received this book from the Early Reviewers program.

I actually kind of enjoyed this book while I was reading it, but since then, the more I've thought about it, the more irritated I've become. Jennifer marries a guy who is a COMPLETE jerk and then goes through a series of contortions to try to make her marriage work.

While at the time, I was amused to read about what she goes through, looking back on it, my main reaction is why on earth did these two people get married in the first place!!! From the beginning, I never got any sense that they were attracted to each other or liked each other even a little bit.

While there are definitely some humorous bits that were lots of fun to read, the complete disconnect between Jennifer and her husband was really off-putting. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061461369, Paperback)

A wicked comedy about the perils of making your dreams come true

Quirky, clever, cubicle-bound Jennifer Johnson is desperate. Everyone around her is getting married, while she's still single and stuck writing ad copy about men's dress socks.

Her life hits crisis level, launching her into a humiliating and painfully hilarious quest to find Prince Charming at any cost. This includes agonizing online dates, diet-clinic cults, drag-queen fights, and a debilitating addiction to Cinnabon icing. When she meets handsome, wealthy Brad Keller, she wonders if he's the answer to all her dreams, or is he just too good to be true?

Darkly funny and outrageously honest, McElhatton's wit shines in this no-holds-barred cautionary tale about getting what you want—and how it can be the worst thing for you.

(retrieved from Amazon Wed, 20 Apr 2011 08:31:55 -0400)

Now married to the handsome, wealthy son of a department-store magnate and back from the honeymoon from hell, Jennifer finds herself organizing Valentine's Day abstinence dances and dining with the ladies of the country club. Is this really all there is to married life? Brash and funny sequel. Jennifer Johnson is your average American woman...who just so happened to marry the handsome wealthy son of a Midwest department store juggernaut. Not too long ago she was stuck in a cubicle, love-lorn and addicted to Cinnabon frosting, now she has her Prince Charming and all she could have dreamed of.… (more)
