Typical chick lit stuff, really. I bought it to read on an airplane. It was good at occupying my time, but not one of my favorites.

Excellent cheesey romance novel about women in their late twenties, a classic feel good novel

This book was okay - which was pretty sad for me seeing as I was looking forward to it. It kept me entertained throughout my flight and I finished it fairly quickly. It's a summer beach read - nothing too strenuous or thought-provoking.

Adriana, Emmy and Leigh are best friends living in Manhattan, New York.
Adriana - The Brazilian goddess, the ultimateslut socialite who will sleep with just about anything male.
Emmy - The flat-chested serial monogamist who had been dumped by her five-year boyfriend for a virgin cheerleader (like I would believe that for a minute!).
Leigh - The obsessive and compulsive one with lots of issues despite having perfect everything i.e boyfriend, job, place... or so her friends thought.
One day, the two of them made a pact of changing their lives in a year. Adriana is to settle with ONE guy while Emmy will sleep around as she trot around the globe within a year. Leigh? Well, she has it all, no? The perfect boyfriend every women drool upon, the job with one of the top publishers, a place of her own with lots of space, unlike Emmy's. And she has this No-Human-Contact every Monday night.
It is the story of 3 not-so-young women in the big city. Each with their own issue and conflicts.
Coming from Lauren Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada), I was expecting a good read, if not a great one. The result: DISAPPOINTING! It was a HUGE letdown for me as I went through page by page. It's like reading a novel wrote by a lazy and amateurish author! There's nothing interesting or anything remotely new in this novel. It's bland. It's meaningless. It's just downright stupid. Even the title doesn't fit the story. At all.
I have only one word for this novel: BLEARGH!!!

Definitely a beach vacation read. I liked Emmy & Leigh but Adriana's character drove me nuts. I liked it in the end.

A good start that gets you hooked but the enthusiasm dies off soon enough.
With some funny one liners the book is lighthearted.
Wouldn't recommend, as it's quite predictable, but if you're in a reading funk it's a good pallet cleanser.
