Can I get my $7.99 back?

I was not a big fan of Kendall, she came across to me as a big whiner. There were times in the book that I wanted to jump in and smack her across the face, she was that irritating. Out of the four, I thought she had the weakest character plot. I would have preferred if the books main heroine was Faye or even Mallory.

I'm not a big fan of books within book plots, to me it feels like an easy way to write a novel.

I was hoping that the book would have become better as I read along but it didn't. The ending to me was very anti-climatic.

The Accidental Bestseller is an interessting story. It's somewhat weird because you're reading a story about characters that are writing a story about themselves. It was a good summer read but I was disappointed that the main character Kendall comes accross as mostly a helpless woman who can't seem to do anything without her friends' help. Also, the big secret that the character of Mallory is keeping from everyone is pretty much a let down becuase it just doens't seem like that big a deal. I think the problem that Faye Truett, the preacher's wife, deals with in the story was the best plot line and had the most satisfying ending.
