review 1: Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.Cathy is a stay-at-home mom, but that's starting to be an issue for her husband. He thinks all she does is sit at home all day, now that both kids are in school most of the day. He harps on her about joining the workforce again, but she has her own issues and reasons for not wanting to go along with it. Then, random postcards start arriving in the post from a person called "La La," talking about Cathy's husband. Is he having an affair? Is THAT why he wants her otherwise occupied with a job, so she's not home as often? Or is it just someone messing with him, with her? As Cathy and her trusted friends try to figure out the identity of the poison penner, their "perfect" suburban lives start to go through downwa... morerd spirals. With all this other chaos going on, how will Cathy even find the time to figure out who La La is, much less be able to nab a job?This is such a fun little mystery, and it has all those juicy tidbits that also pull you along for the ride; you know, the ones we all watch reality shows and soap operas for. Cathy and her friends are such interesting characters, and I honestly can't tell you how many times I flipped back and forth on La La's identity, as well as how I felt about certain people in her life. All of this, while still trying to be a wife and mother; it's craziness, I tell you! I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next one in the series, and will actually be starting it upon publishing this review. Loved it!4 1/2 stars
review 2: As a stay-at-home mom of her two children, Cathy doesn't exactly have the most exciting life. However, that is all about to change. In Looking for La La by Ellie Campbell, postcards signed by a mysterious La La begin arriving for Cathy's husband, Declan. What does any sane woman do in this situation? Of course, Cathy starts to freak out a little and is determined to find out who this La La person is and if, in fact, Declan is really having an affair. As Cathy continues her hunt for this person, she begins to see that her husband may not be the only one with a secret.In the beginning, it was hard to keep track of all of Cathy's friends. And I will admit that Cathy is not my favorite main character. She was obsessive and a little dramatic, but I can't honestly say that I wouldn't behave the same way if I were in her shoes. Even though I didn't like her all that much, I was so curious as to who La La was and what more could happen to Cathy and her friends. The more and more I read this book, the more and more I enjoyed it. I reached a point where I just couldn't put it down. There were so many laugh-out-loud moments, and there were even some really sweet moments that made me go "aww!" Unlike most chick-lit books, I did not predict the ending, which I loved by the way. With such an entertaining and unpredictable plot and very different but lovable-in-their-own-way characters, Looking for La La is a must-read. I was hooked, and I will definitely be reading Ellie Campbell's other books.Reviewed by ME for Readers' Favorite less
