review 1: So meta it hurts. The book is about a group of authors who get together to write a book...about a group of authors writing a book. What makes it especially awkward is the author goes on and on and on about how the book in the book (which closely mirrors the actual book) is so amazing. It's a bit like listening to someone toot their own horn when you know the horn is really rusty and can't play worth a damn.The book is supposed to focus strongly on female friendships, yet I couldn't identify with any of the characters. They were annoying and whiny and terrible to each other, leaving me grateful that none of the friendships in my life could compare to this supposed ideal.The twists were trite and predictable, the characters' challenges and secrets all having been done a mill... moreion times before. Skip the book and read something else, anything else, instead.
review 2: Wendy Wax did it again with this easy read chick lit, beach read. Story focuses on Kendall's life falling into free fall after not winning a literary award she desperately coveted to return home from the ceremony to realize her marriage is not the solace she hoped for with her selfish husband not in attendance or support. Her friends come to her aide as they understand the deep despair she's fallen into. less
