4.0 out of 5 stars Immensely entertaining, January 3, 2004

I love all of the Red Dress Ink books I have read, and when I spotted this one in the bookstore, it looked like it would be right up my alley. And it was. The protagonist, Karrie Kline, had a strong voice that came through clearly in these series of humorous vignettes about dating. The author was also able to keep what could be a depressing subject mostly upbeat. She seemed to observe her experiences in a positive light and move on into the next experience. I think everyone has a little of Karrie Kline in them, especially when it comes to the dating world. Though the novel was quite long, it did move very quickly and actually made me laugh out loud at several parts! I have recommended it to all of my friends who are dating and need a good laugh. And, of course, I recommend it to anyone who is in the mood to read a great book.

1.0 out of 5 stars So what?, June 18, 2005

This review is from: You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs (Paperback)

It's rare that I do not finish a book, but I had to put this one down. It was nothing like I expected it to be. The writing just was not captivating enough to make me force myself to finish it. I feel a book is only good if you can care about the characters in one way or another, and this book made me think, "So what?"

I wouldn't waste my money. Well, actually, I did. But if I was you and I hadn't bought the book yet, I wouldn't waste my money.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'd rather kiss a frog than read this book!, August 7, 2005

This review is from: You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs (Paperback)

Halfway through the book, you are left wondering two things: why doesn't Karrie take a break from dating for a while, and why doesn't she try a new career? She seems to not have much luck in either arena, and the results are a rather tedious read. While cute at times, Bridget Jones diary it ain't.
