review 1: This is one of those one dimensional books where the good characters are sickeningly good and the bad characters are all horrible. The writing is poor and the depth of the characters thus far is about as deep as a coat of paint. The transition from one chapter to the next makes no sense--several years have actually passed by from the previous chapter but there is no indication of time passing until midway through the second chapter. I'm on about page 30 and have thrown in the towel.
review 2: The Good Stuff * absolutely positively delightful and fun * Great dialogue * Wacky characters * You wont want to put it down you will be having so much fun * Nancy comes across at first as a total flake, but she is a flake with heart and compassion and know... mores when to do the right thing * Milagro is in it briefly -- I love that quirky lady * Grace Coopersmith is the pen name for Marta Acosta who writes the Casa Dracula books and owner of the fabulous blog Vampirewire -- and she really is cool for an American (said in the voice of Bruce the Shark from Finding Nemo) - this is also a joke since I love American's (and cuz I know you are going to save our ass' in case of killer meteors, aliens, ice age, etc) * Fluff but with intelligence and humourThe Not so Good Stuff * Nancy is so rich, annoying and clueless at first, its hard to like her -- but don't let that get you, you will end of liking her despite yourselfFavorite Quotes/Passages"Oh, that naive American dream that a house can bring happiness and fulfillment.""Continue to hope. I always thought you should be with someone who got your humour and realized that when you seem to be joking, you're serious, and when you seem to be serious, you're joking.""Nancy preferred children in magazines to the tantrum-throwing, nose-picking, noisome three-dimensional versions.""Will your heart break when he realizes that no matter how assiduously he tends the garden, a penis will not sprout from your nether regions."What I Learned * I soo want a hot "gay" assistant * That I must stop reading funny books on the bus, because when I snort with laughter, people stop and stare * Nancy would have a lot of work to do on me in terms of fashion and well pretty much everything else, but I woud still love herWho should/shouldn't read * Those who enjoy chick-lit * Smart women who already read and love Marta Acosta * I'm thinking Natasha will not like * I really think fans of Bridget Jones and Sophie Kinsella will also like4 Dewey'sI received this book from Simon and Schuster in exchange for an honest review less
