Search - The Thin Pink Line (Red Dress Ink)

Wow. What an unusual read. Jane is an easy character to hate. She says and does things that are unbelievable and sometimes unrealistic. However, by the end, I didn't hate her. I'm not sure I particularly liked her either, but I no longer hated her. This book can be hard to stick with, but it was interesting enough for me to add the sequel to my wish list.

I thought this book was hysterical! Typical chick lit...I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I just finished reading The Thin Pink Line and loved it. I couldn't put it down. I laughed out loud numerous times at Jane's antics and somewhat skewed reasoning. Who in their right mind would consider faking a whole pregnancy? lol Apparently Jane. Heroine Jane Taylor now falls into the category of Bridget Jones and Becky Bloomwood for me, ones I can't get enough of. Although Jane says and does things that most sane people would never consider, if she acted any differently the book probably would not be as entertaining or enjoyable. Jane is one of those characters you root for, although at times you might want to shake her and ask what in the world is she thinking. All in all I enjoyed every minute of this book. I was dying to know how it all ended, so the cliff hanger ending was a shock. I will promptly be getting a copy of the sequel, Crossing the Line, to see what crazy scheme our heroine cooks up next and to see how she comes clean to her family and friends.

I couldn't get into this book. It was all too silly and unrealistic. I stuck with it for about 100 pages and then skipped to the last 10 pages to see how it all ended.

I felt as some others did, that this story really didn't seem plausible. It didn't pull me in as much as other chick-lit books do because the story seemed a little too out there. I couldn't believe that the main character would go to such great lengths to keep up the pregnancy lie. The end left me thinking about reading the sequel enough to read the excerpt, but I don't think this would be a storyline I will give another try.
