Helpful Score: 5
Substandard chick-lit rife with stale stereotypes - a few cute moments but overall a bore. The main character isn't believable.
According to Angie's friend Michelle, men are like jars: they need their "lids" loosened before they're ready to take the plunge into marriage. Angie's boyfriend, Kirk, is a prime candidate for lid loosening, and with the help of Michelle, Angie starts being less available and more mysterious, and it works. She gets the long-coveted invite to Kirk's parents' house, and Kirk becomes even more passionate, at least when he's not consumed by his work. Angie's own career as an actress is floundering, in large part because she hasn't been going to auditions since being cast in an exercise program for children on cable. When a big network expresses interest in the show, Angie is forced to decide whether she wants to chose the safe route or pursue more challenging opportunities. And as Kirk inches closer to the big proposal, doubts begin to plague Angie: Is he really the guy for her?
Great book! I love this author!
Funny and cute.
For anyone with a man who won't commit
cute story!
Angie is 31 and feels the clock ticking. Why is it that none of her past boyfriends propose marriage. An engaging book similar to Sex in the City about a young woman navigating through relationships.
Engaging
