review 1: I like Erica Kennedy. I loved Bling. I am saddened that we won't get be graced with anymore of her writing. With her passing earlier this year the literary world lost a talent. I liked this novel a lot. Liked the cultural references (pop and otherwise)and the fact that it was based in NY. It was funny, and I could truly relate to some parts. But, I am wondering how I liked it so much when I couldn't stand one of the main characters. Sydney was annoying, aggressive, and abrasive. How can you sympathize with the vulnerability when she was also self sabotaging? She was also rude and obnoxious. Then to have her find what was written to be such a nice guy in Max. I don't know. But I guess that's the beauty of reading. Anything can happen.
review 2: I picked this boo... morek up because someone (a stranger) told me it was hilarious! Always a sucker for a comedy, I decided to give it a try. Was it hilarious? Not really. There were one or two parts that made me chuckle, but that's about it. The story revolves around the same old Cinderella-waiting-for-Prince-Charming theme, but with a supposedly "feminist" bend, and set in Manhattan. I didn't see the feminist thing at all, but that's just me. A woman didn't like to wear stilettos and that was supposed to be "feminist". But she was still a slave to fashion and the gym. She was afraid of commitment as well. In the end, all things turn out as it should... Cinderella and RICH Prince Charming live happily ever after. Yawn. less
