A friend of mine recommended this read. I am usually not into lesbian fiction as the reality of my own life is quite overwhelming satisfying anyway, but I am so glad my little Becky gave me this one. This is the story of two remarkable women, in many ways as screwed up as we all are, and the author had hit on the exact right blend of magic to make this a wonderful read. Quick witted, humorous, extremely bright and fast paced, the author address so many of the situation we have all been in, but portrays them in a quirky way that most of us are unable to articulate. I have to admit that this work was even sexy and I enjoyed ever word in that area; something not normally my thing.

This is an excellent work of two women falling in love and is written as it should be written. I plan to read more of this author.

"Girl Trouble" follows the story of Joan Majors and Annette Martineau - two incredible women who are also incredibly flawed - as they try to navigate the turbulent waters of 'falling in love'. The author's writing is as sharp, quick, witty, intelligent and real as ever! Francine has, once again, created a world that is so alive and so full that you will quickly lose yourself in the story as she weaves her magic and pulls you in right from the very first word.

One heck of a fun read!

*Found the first short DEAR JOAN FREE in the Kindle store!

Saint Marie writes in a uniquely charming and witty style that you can't compare to any other writer, of any other genre. Charming, witty, AND sexy! If you haven't read anything by her, you're in for a real treat. I recommend also: THE SECRET TRILOGY: Three Novels. Two Women. One Epic Love Story.)

Intelligent writing. Very much enjoyed this unique group of shorts.

FSM's wondrous style makes short reading an entirely new experience. As with all of this author's characters, Joan and Annette have a will of their own, so don't expect to be led on by the writer, rather expect to be taken for a wild ride in a cherry red car by the cheeky Joan Majors. As with all of FSM writing, you'll feel treated as an intelligent reader.

Okay, my 2nd one star (negative star if I could) review for this author in as many nights. Like I mentioned in the Secret Trilogy review, I really enjoyed the author's writing style (it's engaging and intelligent). Unfortunately, it stops dead there and the flaws in the flawed characters just... make me want to gargle with peroxide, ugh! what's with the selfish, self-possessed, womanizing main character who'd stop at nothing, who'd relentlessly, arrogantly hound the hopeless, helpless, spineless opposite lead? How are these women remarkable? Am I missing something? The turning back of time to when women were chattels / mere playthings perhaps? Maybe this is suppose to be a farce? A political satire about the relationship between 2 countries? I'm glad at least here the plot bunnies refrained from running amok (unlike The Secret Trilogy) and the book was a super quick read.
