5.0 out of 5 stars More, Please!, January 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Not-So-Perfect Man (Paperback)

Give me more of the Schast sisters, please! All three are smart, funny, and ultimately flawed (in the best possible, most relatable, laugh-with-me) kind of way. Unlike some other fictional NYC women, this trio of unlikely heroines is neither sexier, more clever or hipper than thou. And there's a minimum of coy product placement. What there's a maximum of: interesting characers you root for, a plot with just enough complications and some informative insight about the complexities of emotions inherent in being married, single, and widowed. A great feel-good read on a cold day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining reality-romance novel, August 19, 2004

By 

Lady from KC (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Not-So-Perfect Man (Paperback)

This book had the right blend of humor, reality, and romance. This book illustrates a common issue in relationships: Whether it is better to marry someone you are passionate about vs. someone who is practical.

I would not recommend it for young adults. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because there is some bad language in the book. Otherwise, it is written very well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than The Accidental Virgin, March 25, 2006

This review is from: The Not-So-Perfect Man (Paperback)

I decided to give Valerie Frankel another chance after I had read and disliked "The Accidental Virgin" and this was a much better read. The book focuses on three sisters-Illene, Frieda, and Betty. I disliked the character of Illene the most and liked the character of Betty the most. Illene didn't have many traits that I could connect to and she did a lot of things in the book that I found to be really annoying and ridiculous. Frieda was a so-so character for me. I didn't mind her and I did root for her and Sam's relationship but there just wasn't something that I could fully connect with. I probably connected the most with Betty. I felt for her when she got duped (I don't want to reveal too much). The book is a fast read, as I read it in two days. I've bought The Girl-friend Curse by Valerie Frankel and hopefully that will be as good as "The Not-so-perfect Man".
