review 1: Chick lit about three friends, mid 40s, who are having various problems. Bea is the most interesting - she is undergoing a change in her work responsibilities due to the evil Amanda who is trying to take over. Ellen is finally in love, but Oliver is causing a rift among the friends and he definitely not who he seems to be. Kate has a boring problem which is that her husband is distant. Overall, this book was pretty slow moving and boring. I feel bad giving it a two, but it wasn't really that good. OTOH, I gave the immensely readable Danielle Steel book a two last week and I thought that while it was one of her worst, it was still very readable. This one clocked in at 420 pages, which was way too long. I expected an easy, engaging read and I did not get that, so I g... moreuess part of the star rating is based on my expectations. Anyway, take a pass on this one and probably others this author may write in the future.
review 2: It was my first book by Fanny Blake and I guess I should just stick to my old, proved authors. It was again a book about actually nothing, I don't know if it's my luck that I'm reading only such books lately. It was just boring, there was actually nothing happening, I was not interested what's going to happen, and it was obvious what's going to happen. I have skipped a lot of the pages, sticking just to the dialogues and it was okay, I didn't miss anything in between. There was "Warm and funny" on the cover but I didn't find anything warm, let's not mention funny in this book. I didn't warm to any of the characters, I was really not interested in their private lives, no. I read it fast just to be finished. less
