Customer Reviews

I **loved** this book!

This book is full of laughs from the first page until you read the last sentence. Others have posted good reviews about the plot, characters, yadayadayada....so I won't duplicate what has already been said. I will tell you that Ms. French is my "new" favorite author and I can't wait to read what she's got in store for her readers next!!

Hilarious! Laugh out loud funny!....

This novel is so funny, the author has a great way of being sarcastic and witty. I enjoyed the descriptions of people and several times I laughed at loud and read passages to my husband.I recommended this book to my own mother and she loved it too. What a great mothers day gift to give you own mom, something that will make her chuckle. I look forward to Wendy French's next novel, this author is great!

BETTER than Bridget Jones!

Loved this book! It had me laughing out loud! The author knows how to use sarcasm so I could definitely relate to how the main character was feeling! She has great one-liners and descriptions that I wish *I* would have thought of! Can't wait to read her next book!

Fabulous!

This book is a quick and hilarious read. It's supposed to be funny and it most certainly is. The author has unusual style and, obviously, a sense of humor. It's not like anything else out there and that is what makes it good.

Hilarious!!

This book left me laughing! From the day I recieved it, I couldn't put it down. If you want to feel better about yourself read about the misery this poor girl goes through each day. You'll love it.
