review 1: Even had I not read it in the description, I could have told you this was a debut novel. There were some delightfully original moments but also some painfully cliche ones. I did enjoy how various elements of the story wove together in the end. Ultimately, however, it's hard for me to love a book whose main character is, well, rather blah. Nothing about her really stood out as overly interesting or lovable. There were a couple of characters that were quite interesting, but most were disappointingly two dimensional. I still enjoyed the book, it's just not a must-read in my opinion. However, if you love all things New York, this is probably for you.
review 2: Ok. I have to be honest. This isn't a book that I would think to recommend to people because I struggled t... morehrough it. Here's the thing. I didn't like Eve. I don't like people like Eve. People like Eve are people who have a hard time adjusting to the real world. Now, never having lost a parent I can't say how I would feel if I lost my mom. But I will tell you- never would I feel the need to try to re-live my mother's life, which is very much what Eve is trying to do. It seems to me that it would be obvious that the times and life of an area would be very much different several generations apart... but Eve doesn't seem to get that. I also didn't understand the whole Donald thing. Yes, he's a ghost. Yes, he wants Eve to write his book and she learns a lot about the generations and her new fashion designer friend because of Donald. But... the whole character and story line of Donald is just so.... off. I don't know. I had a hard time even wanting to read sections of the book where he's present because it didn't make sense. Why even have that as a character or part of the story line? The parts of this book that I found fascinating was the hustle and bustle of her working on a morning show. Not only was it interesting to somewhat learn about that type of job, but it seemed more of a real life scenario that could happen to a single woman coming to the big city from the Midwest. THAT part of the story made absolute sense. Often times I felt myself thinking Eve was kind of a dumb girl who, though she has real world experience and a great education, she is a person you'd pass up and assume she's just another idiot in the big city. I wouldn't feel sorry for her or her plight if she was one of my friends. Which sounds terrible...but it's true. Now, if you enjoy a chick lit book, or if you like stories about women trying to empower themselves- this would be a good book for you. less
