Review: Project Jennifer by Jill Amy Rosenblatt

LauraD's review of Project Jennifer by Jill Amy Rosenblatt
Chick Lit released by Kensington 29 Jul 08

Chick Lit has its origins in Great Britain, and we Americans have never quite captured whatever it is that makes Chick Lit, well.....Chick Lit. Those Brits just seem to have a sense of irony that us Yanks can't quite get to. We seem to want our Chick Lit heroines to actually learn Life Lessons, when the point is really just a fun book where in the end the girl gets a reasonably happy ending. Up to bat here in America's latest is debut author Jill Amy Rosenblatt, and danged if she doesn't get it. Read more

Well, at least they're getting married.

Review: News Blues by Marianne Mancusi

Sandy M's review of News Blues by Marianne Mancusi
Contemporary Chick Lit released by Love Spell on 26 Feb 08

While Chick Lit is not my favorite to read, I have to admit that I had fun with this book. I didn't have quite the connection I do with characters in historicals or paranormals that I love to read, but I still enjoyed Maddy and her on again/off again screwed-up life.

Review: Alibi in High Heels (High Heels Mysteries, Book 4) by Gemma Halliday

Sandy's review of Alibi in High Heels (High Heels Mysteries, Book 4) by Gemma Halliday
Contemporary romance/chick lit released by Making It (Dorchester) 26 Feb 08

I had a good time with this book. Of course, I found out not too far into it that there were three books about Maddie and her antics published before this one, but it was okay because I didn't feel like I missed anything too important having not read them.
