I found this book such an amazing read, that I was actually a little depressed when it was over. I just wanted the fun to go on and on. All good things must come to an end I guess.
The book is pretty unrealistic, and while labled a romance in some circles, it is no bodice ripper. It's mostly just a great comedy, and great fun. It would make a perfect summer read, or a great read if you are feeling down. It made me laugh and smile the whole way through, while still telling a great story.

I loved this book so much. It was very funny and totally current. It is sort of pop culture time capsule for the year 2006. Enjoy!
A funny, fairly quick read. It seemed, though, like much less attention was paid to the ending than the rest of the book, although the end was handled fairly well.

Cathy blows up her microwave and wakes up in 1959 in another Cathy's life. She can't believe how similarly life is on some levels and how terrifyingly different it is on other levels. She tries to figure out why she's there and what she needs to do to get back. It is a touch predictable, but it was really quite funny. Several parts were laugh out loud while reading funny!

Great book! It was so funny, I was laughing out loud several times. I would highly recommend this one.
This is a cute story told from the Author's point of view. She's frustrated with her work life her love life etc. She didn't pay attention and puts metal in the microwave and blamo - she's in 1959 and its as strange as a foreign country.
There are misadventures that make you laugh and a love interest that makes it fun.
And the underwear conversations are worth the read.

This was a very funny book. The babyboomers who grew up in the 1950's will be reminded that the good old day had some not so good aspects to the culture.

Good for a quick read when you want something light. Great beach read.

If you don't take this book too seriously, it's really entertaining. It had plenty of laugh out loud moments and had a ton of current pop culture references. I really liked it, surprisingly.

I didnt love this book. It was cute enough, but it just didnt grab me and hold on like I thought it would. It was smart and funny. Possibly would have held my attention more if I hadnt just finished "The Thirteenth Tale" which had me riveted and disappointed to finish. I wouldnt classify it as a romance really, more a empowered woman contemporary read.
Awesome could not put it down
A standard-issue bit of chick lit. Good read for the beach or such.
Interesting take on what happens when a modern day woman goes back to the 50's. Nice characters, good plot. I'm looking forward to more of Naomi Neale.
enjoyed this book.
This is a must read! I could not put the book down once I started reading it!
