5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected Surprise, March 22, 2008

By	M. Ford - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is everything I want when I read this genre. No, its not a literary masterpiece but it is a FUN read...predictable with enough twists to keep you reading and enough character development to make you care. If you enjoy movies like "Pretty Woman", then this book will hit the spot. I couldn't put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was a good read, but predictable, November 12, 2007

By	R. Glenn (California) - See all my reviews

I thought that this was a very good book that many 20-30 something singles could relate to. The bad relationships, the day dreaming that the server is your true love... Even though I'm married I still enjoyed reading this entertaining chick lit. At times, it is a bit predictable and somewhat annoying. The length of time things happen, too, is frustrating. Almost a year can be covered in a couple chapters. A month in less than that. Some of the characters weren't fully developed and at times it seems like they did a 180. It was definitely a good read, finished it in a day. There were some typos that I noticed right off the bat, for instance "Lara" instead of Laura, "he" instead of she, etc. You definitely get frustrated at Nick and Laura over SO many things...you just want to beat them over the head sometimes. Overall, a good read, but not something where you feel emotionally attached to the characters or are surprised at what happens next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hopelessly Swept Away, February 8, 2009

By	Rebekkah "mjmbecky" (West) - See all my reviews

I don't know how to say this other than to say that reading this novel felt like walking through a beautiful, English countryside somewhere. It definitely was one of the better chick lit novels I've read in awhile. While predictable (as repeated a million times here), you don't really care, and it in fact propels you to read even faster. I really loved the vulnerability of the characters and genuinely cared about their lives and feelings. A must read this year, next, or whenever.
