review 1: For a book about a writing seminar (in a way), it really needs some work. There was a line in it about how you either finish a book for two reasons, one was because you were hooked, or two because you had already committed so much time to it that you felt like you had to finish it. OR something to that extent. I kept giving this a chance in hopes it would get better, and for me, it didn't. The characters weren't appealing and the story wasn't too interesting either. I don't feel like the lessons that needed learning ever really got learned, which is frustrating. Her characters annoyed me and I honestly do not know why I even bothered.
review 2: Dessy and Veronica, best friends and aspiring writers, are off to Prague for a writers’ seminar. Even though they’... moreve applied for a non-fiction seminar, they end up in the short story section that Veronica’s mother is teaching. Both of them have recently had break-ups – Dessy, the narrator, quieter than Veronica, still misses her boyfriend (who gave her a laminated list of her faults) a lot, while Veronica’s determined to flirt and possibly more with as many Hot Dudes as possible during their time in Prague. A very funny and astute book, with as much focus on friendships, family, and storytelling as there is on romance. I really loved all the bits set in the creative writing seminar too. less
