Customer Reviews

Very entertaining - 4.5 stars

I honestly don't see what all the bad reviews are for. This is probably the funniest book I've read in my life. I don't read many books as I often get bored halfway through; but I couldn't put this one down. Very highly recommended.

Wittingly funny

I bought this book on a whim at the airport while my flight was delayed. I found it to be a page turner with several twists and surprises. By no means is this a literary pillar of all times, but the pages were very easy to read and made you want to turn the page. I can't wait to read more books by Wendy Holden!

Simply the BEST

Jane is a writer that gets stuck writing a column for a party girl named Champagne D'Vyne. Champagne's name appears on the column, but Jane is forced to gather all the information and write the column for Champagne. Jane is living with a guy who doesn't really love her any more and treats her like [garbage] for not keeping up on all the world news. When she has a one-night stand with the upstairs neighbor her who life changes. This story takes you on an adventure that will have you wishing it were longer. The characters are excellent, fun and a blast to befriend. A great book for the beach or over a bowl of hot soup!

diet coke came out of my nose...

...as I laughed out loud at some of the hilarious moments in this book. I read it while travelling alot so my fellow Air Canada passengers gave me some odd looks as I burst out laughing throughout the book. I loved every minute. Natural writing, hilarious plot lines, characters you love (or love to hate)...I can't wait to read more of her books.

Fun, Fun, Fun

This book is just a delight to read. Luckily none of us will never have to deal with someone like Champagne D'Vyne but reading about poor Jane, her trials and tribulations is fun! We all have our own personal Champagne's. It is so easy to identify with Jane. Wendy Holden has taken hold of of something that is so identifiable to us all and taken it to the Nth degree. She has made it outrageous fun with a cute twist at the end. I really enjoy it when I can't totally guess how a book will end. I loved the way this one ended...more like real life than happily ever after!
