review 1: Quite funny in places, but a few things niggled at me when reading this. I found it very easy to predict what was going to happen for one - there was no real substance and it definiately wasn't a page turner! Also, the main theme of the story is that "Mummy Misfit" and husband have to cut out all luxuries to pay for their son's tuition at a private school. Yet somehow, they seem to be on the wine every night, always socialising, etc - sorry, but I found that very unrealistic of someone who is supposed to be penniless! Also Amanda Egan, Mario is a franchise which is owed exlusively to Nintendo, so your character would not have been playing this on a PS3. See, just slight niggles, but they annoyed me plenty!! Overall a good book for the beach, but not much subst... moreance.
review 2: The diary format of this book serves it so well! Libby's diary reads with such humor and sharp wit that it is impossible to not laugh at her candid remarks about her daily interactions. Libby's diary reflects all the things that one thinks, but doesn't say. There is so much to love about Libby. She doesn't take herself too seriously and her easy personality makes it completely natural to cheer her on as she takes on some rather cold and callous characters. Love the British humor as well as the universal themes that Amanda Egan explores. Overall this is an extremely witty novel from a debut author. Can't wait for the next book! less
