review 1: Catherine Alliot is on top form with this book. It's funny and the characters are engaging. I would have given it five stars except for one thing, I think the plot twist towards the end of the book is a bit of a cheat. The story is told in the first person by the heroine, Hattie, who is very open about her life, but Alliot deliberately misleads the reader about Hattie's son so that the plot twist can have the necessary impact, which struck me as a bit devious.
review 2: Where do I begin to express my dislike for this book? I'm not sure because anything I say might actually spoil the read for anyone who might want to (piece of advice: don't). The characters are really weak, and even after finishing the book I can't say that I know enough about the main charact... moreer to think of her with anything but indifference; and as for the plot, that's another story (I crack myself up), it's totally non-existent. Based on the blurb, I got the impression going in that there would be some sort of romance and something interesting -- that was not the case. Absolutely nothing happened, in the first 3/4 of the book, and then in the last quarter things picked up but in a "Bobby in the shower", wishy-washy kinda way. I really didn't appreciate that. I love a good twist but I did not see the point of this last minute effort. Why all the seemingly significant events and developemtn in the lives of second and third string characters? How was this germane to the main character's development? And where the heck was the editor on this one? less
