Another easy read by this author. Good plot, good wit and humor. ( )

I listened to the audiobook version of this title on a long drive and really enjoyed it. I do agree with other reviewers that some parts are unrealistic, but this was still a fun book. What did annoy me was the piling on of Lucy's troubles. As if being homeless to help her drug addict son wasn't enough, she's without a boyfriend she really liked, her organizing job is difficult, and on and on. I wanted to say enough, this poor woman doesn't deserve all this bad stuff. It does work out in the end, but not without a lot of drama. I do agree, a great beach read or one pick up when at home nursing a cold. Recommended. ( )

This book was free and I liked the cover. Also, it had an irascible old (?) artist/hoarder at the center of the novel which was a bonus for me. There were some funny moments and some serious. Overall a decent read. Definitely leaning toward, or perhaps squarely in the middle of the category, chick lit - which is not typically my favorite genre. But overall, I'd recommend. ( )

Lucy Bloom is newly single, homeless and has just sent her son off to rehab. She's offered a job helping Marva, a reclusive artist, clear out her cluttered home. Lucy, fresh off of writing her book on organizing, takes on the job. I was drawn in immediately to this story and ended up liking it quite a bit. Lucy probably wouldn't get mother of the year but she does get it right in the end. Fun story, humorous, moves right along. ( )

A smart and funny, easy read. If I could award half stars I would give this 3.5. ( )
