Customer Reviews

Occasionally funny, occasionally annoying

As a sequel book, the events and characters of the initial book are seen from a totally different perspective, which is disconcerting. The lead character is hard to identify with, as is the lead male, which detracted significantly from my enjoyment. I have a hard time relating to or sympathizing with people who behave irrationally ALL the time and who are serially promiscuous. However there are humorous moments which redeem the book overall. It’s just not as enjoyable as it’s predecessor.

the cover sold me first

i tend to jump around in what i read. a little drama, a little mystery, some fantasy/scifi. once in a while, i'll take chance and read something "girlie" just to keep myself well rounded. i have to admit, i bought this by cover alone - it seemed flirtatious enough. i was not disappointed. i absolutely loved reading this and found myself giggling at times. i even read a few sections to my husband and he thought they were pretty funny too. i really enjoyed this one and look forward to checking out some of her other work!

Very good read!!!

I love Cara Lockwood's books. They are light, easy to get through, and never fail to make me laugh. This one was no exception! I don't like to give the stories away in my reviews like some others like to do, but suffice to say, if you liked Cara's other books, you will love this one!! A++++++++++++

Funny, captivating, a must-read

I am not a reader, and I read this book non-stop the minute I put my hands on it-I just couldn't put it down! There were parts of this book that I found myself laughing to as well as able to relate to (as far as confusing feelings go in relationships). The main character, Lily, is going through a divorce from her rock-star, egotistical, cheating husband and goes to London to reunite with a friend (ex boyfriend) of hers to just relax and get away for a while before her trial. While there she goes on this adventure of figuring out herself, what she wants, and her feelings. Although she thinks she might want to move on from her ex, she can't. The ending is surprising though, and of course a love story at heart. Her thoughts are changing throughout the story into what unravels to be her finding herself in the end and "growing up" to realize what she wants in life. I thought it was a great, very well-written book, not to mention it was funny! If you want a book that you just want to keep on reading, this would be for you!

Great, fun read

I thought this book was perfect. It's the story of Lily, the irresponsible, spontaneous, and funny sister of Lauren (the wedding planner from Lockwood's previous book, "I Do (But I Don't)." Lily was married to Ted, a self-absorbed rock star, until he left her for an actress of dubious skill, Melanie Slate. Upset by her impending divorce (and assault charges for beating up Ted), Lily takes off for London and the comfort of her friend and ex-boyfriend, Carter. Lily has a quick wit that made the book very fun to read. Carter is funny as well, and has a hair fetish. His hair is always perfectly styled. Lily's dog, an overweight Chihuahua named Arnold, often steals the show, and Lauren shows up in London as well. The characters are so funny and relatable, and the bits about celebrity are entertaining as well. A fun read for anyone who enjoys chick lit or Cara Lockwood's books.

Great book

This book was a very quick read and a cute story. I liked how it entertwined the characters from the 1st book, yet still created it's own storyline. Very good, can't wait for her next book :)
