Helpful Score: 3
Cute chick-lit short stories all about New Year's Eve. Stories are not terribly long and I felt like I got a good feel of each author that wrote a piece for this collection. Two of the authors I already knew about (and love!) and now this book will be a great reference for other authors that I had not heard about before.
Helpful Score: 2

This was a great book of short stories. I would love to read it again next year as a fun motivator.
This is a book of various fiction authors talking about their heroines times with new year's eve and the events leading up to it.
Maybe it's just another midnight...or maybe there really is magic in the air when December 31st becomes January 1st, and confetti kisses and champagne toasts kick off a new year, a new romance, a new look, a new attitude.
Celebrate the start of something new with In One Year and Out the Other...a sparkling collection of all new stories by today's rising fiction stars:
Cara Lockwood puts self-improvement to the test with 528 resolutions -- not least of which is "Do not sleep with married men" -- in "Resolved: A New Year's Resolution List"...Pamela Redmond Satran instructs a single mom in the fine art of partying like the boys (have lots of sex, don't worry that you're too fat) in "How to Start the New Year Like a Guy"...Diane Stingley shows a twentysomething why there's more to life than waiting by the phone for a New Year's date in "Expecting a Call"...Megan McAndrew seizes the day -- or just a very special one-night stand -- for a single food stylist hungering for more in "The Future of Sex"...and more great tales from Kathleen O'Reilly, Beth Kendrick, Eileen Rendahl, Tracy McArdle and Libby Street.

This book was just O.K. in my opinion! But not super bad either!
A wonderful collection of great chick lit stories that was perfect to read over the New Years holiday weekend. With many different characters at the center of varying stories from women who are married to women who have been single for quite some time and are ready to celebrate a New Years with someone special.
I fell in love with each story and wanted more when I was finished with each one. It was also perfect to make a list of authors to follow and check out.
I would absolutely recommend this collection of stories to all fans of chick lit. Whether you are a fan of short stories or not, this book is great if you need to read one or two stories and put it down and pick it back up later.

Angst, angst, and more angst...
It's really bad when short stories are interminable, and you have to choose between just abandoning them and skipping to the end to see how they end.
PS: That's a strange comment in the blurb about "528 rules to live by"--there's a rule #659 in the story.
