This was just ok. It was a very quick read. The story was very cute and parts were very funny, but it wasn't the greatest book I've read this summer. If you only have a few credits I'd pass this up, but if you have some to spare this might be worth a read.

A cute, brainless book - great read when you need to get your mind off something but can't concentrate too hard on your book!
Helpful Score: 2
Not the typical chick-lit type of book, which was nice and it was a quick and funny book to read. The way things turned out for the main character was great, very amusing.

Quick, light read. Won't provoke much deep thought, but you'll enjoy it if you watch a lot of reality TV.

Different then I'm use too, was hard to get into, cute ending though.
This was a really cute book. If you like Bridget Jones's Diary type books...this is for you. I must warn you...it was hard to put down! Very entertaining and easy to ready.
Funny story that is almost too true!
I read about 50 pages and couldn't get into it. It kept on losing me and I didn't feel like trying to figure it out.
Very cute story about a girl who is dumped on a TV show like
Who wants to be a Millionaire" and how her life changes because of it.
I enjoyed it alot.

*** (three stars)
A quick, mindless read -- like junk food or TV. Three weeks in the life of a 34-year-old woman who appears on "So You Want to Be Filthy Rich!" (a thinly-disguised "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"). The show is hosted by a very Regis Philbin-like Kingman Fenimore, who wears monochromatic dark shirts and ties and also hosts a morning chat show called "Gabbing! With Kingman and Tracy Ellen." Published in 2001, this book is really dated. And some of the multiple-choice TV trivia questions that open each chapter are laughably easy:
What line of work was George Jefferson in?
What was Thurston Howell III's wife's name?
