I wept with laughter reading this. It's the sort of book I figured was definitely girls only, but it has real insight into the mind of the single woman - not the desperate for a boyfriend type - but the sassy professional player who wants to have a good time. Should be a film.

Yes, yes yes - this book will do nicely! I read the first two "Meet Me at the Bar" books back in the nineties, but somehow managed to miss this wonderful installment - now finding it on kindle has made my entire year! Evelyn is the girls heroine for a new age - gorgeous, confident, successful and girlfriend-do-not-mess-with-her! Where most chick-lit asks us to be content with dowdy girl-next-door-approaching-thirty cardboard cutouts, Tyne O'Connell hurls glamour encrusted, style-engraved larger-than-life super-characters to the fore of our imagination, having them handle their dilemma's with style panache and lashings of cleavage! This installment finds Evelyn dazzlingly thrust into the Hollywood glitz, and I must say, It becomes her - this book is the last word in chick-lit, and possibly the funniest thing I, for one, have ever read - do yourself a favour and get stuck in!!

You thought you Loved Evelyn at the bar? try her in Hollywood! This book comes complete with all her trademark misadventures - saucy to the eyeballs, but this time set against the fabulous backdrop of the Chateau Marmont - Evelyn leaves her comfortable world of Lesbian flatmates, Hammer murderers, Powedered legalm wigs and bastard boyfriends to follow her new obsession, the hunky Rory, to become a part of his life in America - but how will she fit in on the other side of the atalantic? how will his young child take to her? what disasters lay in store when she meets his ex wife? and how much emotional support can the Marlbough Man give anyway? "Whats a girl to do?" is hilarious, charming and all round good clean fun... well, good fun, don't know about the clean... If you love chick lit and off the cuff side splitting comedy, then this is the book for you!!

Bridget Jones on speed? Ha! Bridget Jones wishes!!! This book is fantastic - where most girls fiction heroines are pathetic simpering need-bags, finally we have a girl in control of her own uterus! Evie doesn't know what she wants (who does?) but she knows how to get it! This third installment of the meet me at the bar series finds Evie in LA, having followed the latest hunk across the Atlantic against her better judgement she is beset by curve-balls on all sides - whats a girl to do but tighten her double-d bra straps and take the world on with poise and glamour! "What's a girl to do?" is the sort of book to keep you in stitches throughout and never compromise your love for the characters - a romance that will make you split your sides rather than spill your lunch - definately worht reading on that basis alone! 10/10!!

Oh Dear. There is a reason I don't read chic-lit, and this has yet again confirmed it - lack of a thought-out plot, paper thin characterisation, air-head prose, unbelievability, obvious man is stupid young woman is always best syndrome. The only good thing about this is if this sort of thing gets published, there is hope for better quality stuff trying to get a publisher.
