Very fluffy chick-lit romance. 3,5 stars; could well see it being 4 or 5 for a lover of the genre. This was a fast read, i finished it on a 3,5 hour car trip with time left over to knit and chat a bit.

This is one of the best chick lit books I've ever read!

I actually downloaded this from the ebooks.com website and after I got through the first chapter I was wishing I hadn't downloaded it -- it's far too good to read staring at a computer screen. This is one of those books that needs to be read curled up on the corner of a sofa or in bed.

Still, it's a great story and needs to be made into a movie, but not starring Anne Hathaway.

This book made me laugh out loud, wipe a few tears from my eyes, and get angry. There were a few times I caught myself reading faster and faster so I could find out what was going to happen.

Great story if you love chick lit, and would make a great chick flick too!

EDITED on 10/27/07: Apparently this was made into a movie -- or is currently being made into a movie. I'm not sure. Looks like Kate Hudson was supposed to play the main role but I can't seem to find much about it.

As usual, I fell in love with Emma Corrigan and Jack Harper, along with Sophie Kinsella's writing! Emma shares all of her secrets to Jack on a plane, not knowing that the stranger sitting next to her is her boss! This book was a whirlwind, with one problem after the other and kept me wanting more from start to finish! I loved it! PS...when Lissy slapped Jemima across the face and called her a bitch, I was exhilerated! I wanted to scream out loud, "yes, yes, yes!"
