Book Description:
For Anne Olsen, new and improved is the only way to live. So how'd she fall for a secondhand man? Charlotte had the Malibu Barbie with a full wardrobe. Emily inherited a slightly used Barbie with two outfits and Anne was left with a one-armed, bald Barbie who enjoyed nudist colonies. It's little wonder that at twenty-nine, Anne drives a new car, eats only from freshly opened packages and thinks antique is a euphemism for moldy. After growing up in the shadows of her older sisters -- one a swimsuit model, the other a pop-feminist -- Anne's personality is one part sibling rivalry and two parts VD (stands for Vague Dissatisfaction, and yes, it itches). Now she's the self-professed underachiever in the family, determined to find happiness on her own terms. But when her sister's ex-boyfriend -- seemingly perfect, potentially interested -- reenters her life, Anne's got to ask: Could she possibly fall in love with a hand-me-down man?

Very fun! There were actual laugh out loud moments. It always surprises me as you are going along reading a book and one simple line strikes you as hysterical and you laugh for the rest of the page. You can't beat that.

This book was great! I can see someone like Anne Hathaway (Devil wears Prada) playing Anne in the movie version...

"Wearing hand-me-downs was one thing. Dating one is quite another."

Unusual story on how a sister ends up marrying her sister's ex - funny and interesting.

Very Cute! Anne, the main character, is energetic and funny throughout the book! I would recommend if you like chick lit!

ChickLit. Baby sister to a glamerous oldest and a brainy middle, Anne feels that she is always behind the door when anything is being handed out. That's why she isn't going to get involved with older sister's ex, even though she had a major crush on him when she was in high school.

Predictable chick lit - good beach read.

The author writes in a quick pace similar to Sophie Kinsella. The book is a fun quick chick read. I will read more from this author anytime I need a general break from the business of life.
