review 1: I was so disappointed by this book! Isabel is a vapid, idiotic character with absolutely no redeeming features. And then it turns out she is being MANIPULATED! Heavens above, what an unexpected twist for this character seriously lacking in common sense...I needed to get that rant out... I actually am proud of myself for completing this book. I must say I am not normally this scathing of books, but this was truly terrible. Character development was lacking (or not there at all), the character learned nothing from her mistakes (read:glaring stupidity), and even for chick-lit there were some ridiculous scenarios.Holly McQueen clearly has promise, it's just a shame that she wasted it on this ridiculous character. I won't be reading the sequel.
review 2: I think eve... moreryone's taking the chick-lit genre a bit too seriously.Isabel is absolutely an atrocious character, and heavens above I hope nobody in the world like her actually exists...but well, I'm pretty sure that's what the author was going for. I guess Isabel is endearing in a stupid kind of way. I actually really enjoyed this read. The storyline, formulaic as it is, totally hooked me from the beginning. My one MAJOR qualm, however, is the ending...you mean to tell me Isabel gets herself into several legal messes, the kind that can basically destroy your life, and then the heroic man sweeps in and with a few phone calls, cleans up the whole mess? I think our gender just got set back 30 years. less
