Book Information

Book Description:
Ex-Girlfriend Emma Carter has a lot on her mind. Her boyfriend got a life -- in L.A. Her hairdresser found God. And that extra ten pounds of "relationship flab" she acquired while falling in love with a commitment-phobe has just put her out of the running for new romance -- or so she thinks. But before Emma can get on with her life, she's got to face a few startling truths about being single in New York City . . .
Confession #5: Marriage suddenly seems like a social disease.
Even the latest bride in my family -- my mother -- has put me to work in the service of her wedding day. What about us non-bride's-to-be? I wonder now. Working in the warped little world of wedding planning has only led me to one conclusion: If you don't get married in this world, you get nothing. Once, in an editorial meeting, I jokingly suggested that a woman should get a bridal shower when she turns thirty, wedding or not. Everyone looked at me as if I were some kind of nut. I am 31 years old; am I not entitled to free Calphalon yet?
Whoever thought that baring your soul could be this good?

Took a lot longer to read than most chick lit - the "confessions" trick got a little old after a while, but it was an overall cute & fun read. Lack of development of some characters, but still...

Okay read, but there's much better chick lit out there. I felt like I'd read it before.

It was an alright book. I found it kind of hard to get in to, but I still thought it was a cute & easy read. Typical chick-lit, though.

*** This book is great for lounging by the beach. It is kind of a sex and the city esque tale.
