review 1: I could have done without the many typos I found when I started the book. I don't know if they actually did get any less or if I just noticed less as I got into and started enjoying the story. Authors - please have your copies thoroughly proof read, it is no fun for a reader to have to back track to get the meaning or gist of a sentence due to a spelling mistake!However, once I got over this and started to enjoy the book I could not put it down. Even sacrificing Catch Up TV to ensure I finished the book before bedtime. Chicklit can be hit or miss, but this did hit. The hapless heroine with the drop dead gorgeous bestie who gets the hot guys, while Kate (our main character) finds herself trying to get off with the gay guy or those who live a little dangerously. Natura... morelly, there is the odd embarassing moment which has the reader rolling on the floor laughing, and we all to some extent identify with these incidents even if not to such extremes. The bullying boss and back stabbing colleague add to the mix that make this story work so well. Great characterisations and a storyline which roled along at a good pace.
review 2: I must say this book really cracked me up. It reminded me of when I was on the singles scene and like Kate had a really lousy gaydar and ended up dating guys who I thought were oh so right for me until I found out they were gay!! Kate has some hilarious dating experiences at the beginning of the book with various guys that are just not right for her until later on she stumbles on a really great guy who she doesn't think is right for her - when he so is!! I giggled my way through this book which is written as a bunch of letters between Kate in London and her sister Laurie in Sydney, Australia. It was a real page turner and Kaufmann has a real way with words - the way she described Vienna was really evocative and romantic and I have put it on my list of places I want to go visit soon. While I'm there I'll be sure to check out all the cakes the author mentions. Loved the book, it was a real hoot. less
