2.0 out of 5 stars Boring
Another entry into the chick lit genre.

Emily finds out her boyfriend has betrayed her by putting up pictures of her on the Net.

Enter the best friend, Cara who is going to do all she can to make sure that Emily snaps out of it.

The beginning of this book is so boring that I already started regretting having bought it by page 2...

4.0 out of 5 stars "Saucy Santa" has the last laugh, September 5, 2006

This review is from: Compromising Position (Hardcover)
Emily is distraught when she discovers her boyfriend Declan has just started a porn site, on which he's posted suggestive photos of her. She's mortified since the photos were meant for his eyes only. Soon she discovers that's not his only betrayal. He's also mortgaged their home, depleted her savings accounts, and as a result of his internet doings, has managed to get her fired from her job as a teacher.

With no home, no job, no money, and no man, she turns to best pal Cara, a reporter. Cara's co-workers have seen the photos and soon her paper creates media buzz by identifying Emily resulting in her inability to get another teaching position. Cara has her own problems - she's nursing a crush for her co-worker, photographer Alex, a single father contemplating custody of his pre-teen son.

While trying to turn her life around, Emily signs with a publicist who arranges for her to attend several local events. She spots a man there that takes her breath away, but unfortunately they never get the chance to actually meet. Unbeknownst to Emily, the man in question is Alex.

It is through a series of miscommunication and misunderstandings that events unfold, as Emily struggles with the newfound fame that has been thrust upon her, and her desire for her anonymity restored. It's an engaging story, and I was rooting for Emily to find Mr. Right all along. Published in the US as "Bare Necessity."

The beginning of this book is so boring that I already started regretting having bought it by page 2.

The two main female leads are portrayed as just so different and in fact, this is a huge problem with the story. The two worlds just don't jive.

While the author has a down to earth feeling about her writing, I thought this story was boring, standard, overly done chick lit.

This should definitely be a pass.
