Book Overview

Dogs Are Better Than MenThey never brag about their ex's stunning cleavage.They don't moan or sulk if you're a half-hour late.They never tell you a Brazilian would really turn them on.

After her most recent disaster with the King of the Unrepentant Jerks, Isabel "Izzy" Palmer is finally convinced that the only male she truly needs in her life is Henry, her lovable part wolfhound, part who-knows-what. Henry's faithful, he adores her madly, and he's...

I laughed and cried!

Oh, I just loved this fun chick lit novel! At first, it was a little too English, but as soon as it got going, I started to really like it. It had some hilarious parts - like the way the main couple first met as children and it even had parts where I cried (partly because I was home along with Buns and it involved a missing dog). All in all, it was great fun and a fast and enjoyable read. I will definitely add her to my list of authors to look out for!

This one's a winner

I've read all of Elizabeth Young's books and, like the others, I thought this one was fantastic. I think she's a fabulous author. First of all, she tells a great story with lots of excitement, romance, and vivid descriptions that make you feel that you're part of the scene. She has a knack for sharing the insightful thoughts and feelings of the main character, Izzy, that make you feel like you know and understand her. (They're often thoughts and reflections that you may have had yourself in similar situations, but never bothered to spend time thinking about or sometimes even admitting.) Anyway, the end result is that it makes you feel like you're walking in her shoes and feeling her every high and low. Lastly, I love the whole British scene. As an American, I adore and envy the great expressions they use when they talk and the lovely country settings and local pubs seem so inviting. It's a welcome departure from the life I lead (which isn't bad either!). All in all, a fabulous read with some interesting insights on the human character. I hope the author writes many more books!

I Love Dogs!

This is a great story and best of all.... the main character loves dogs! Elizabeth Young does it again!

Another five star read from Liz Young

Young shows again how she's becoming a master at warm, engaging, funny, and sexy stories. With A Girl's Best Friend, she manages to balance all of the elements - the story isn't too sweet and sappy, but you definitely feel good after finishing it. Izzy is an estate agent in the London area, she's seeing the lovely Leo. Well, he's lovely except for the fact that she never seems to come first with him. Izzy has a great circle of friends - and through them she meets Nick, a Vet in a corner of Devon. Together, they play an important part in a house party murder mystery game. Simple enough - but after that weekend, Izzy's life starts to take a different direction. Naturally, all's well that ends well (for several people and one wonderful dog). In fact, this book features one of the best (if not THE best) "Big Romantic Gestures" I've read - Nick knows the way to a woman's heart is through her dog! Young manages a sharp and often sarcastic wit that never turns bitter or biting, Izzy is self-deprecating without being whiny or psycho. And, unlike many books, the spark between the two main characters rings true. A lovely, lovely book! --

Wonderful chick lit

Elizabeth Young is one of the very best chick lit authors; her books sparkle with subtle humor and romance. Her heroines are funny, likable and believable, and while they may get into scrapes, they are never stupid or annoying like so many lesser heroines in this genre. Ms. Young's latest, A Girl's Best Friend, does not disappoint. In addition to the marvelous human characters, there's a large, lovable dog too. What more can you ask for?
