In this delightfully witty debut novel, Kelly James-Enger takes two Chicago best friends on a whirlwind trip through the ups and downs and outs of romances.
A friend of mine recommended this book but I was dubious. She said it was a lot like "Sex in the City"; however, I have never seen that show nor care to, and I don't exactly fit the "chick lit" target audience. Even so, I picked up the book and found that I couldn't put it down! It was thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. In my opinion the book defies any kind of genre stereotype. It is well written with solid characters and a fast-moving plot--elements I like in all good books! The characters Kate and Tracy are so likable that I found myself really caring about the twists and turns their lives were taking. The book also helped me remember what it was like to be younger--the daily grinds and the major decisions I faced. I'm looking forward to reading the next novel by this wonderful author!
Guess What? I Got the Vibe!

Vibe is a fun and sexy read! And you don't have to be a 20-30 something to enjoy it. Kate and Tracy's fun , frolic, love, lust and relationships with men (and food, too), are universal and ongoing. It's a smile from start to finish.

Knowing yourself
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I absolutely loved this debut novel. I was hesitant to purchase this "chick lit" book as I have become bored and somewhat sickened by the stuff published under "chick lit" these days.However, I am grateful that I went ahead and bought it. The two leads (female) are extremely interesting and well-defined characters.Oddly enough, the men, in this book play a distant third to the women and their relationship building - with themselves. The author has chosen to work on her leads and have them discover more and more about themselves with each event in their lives. Be it, career changes, Overeaters Anonymous meetings, these women are growing emotionally and spiriutally.There are lots of fun moments though and this book is far from being heavy or preachy.Buy it.
Not a romance novel

This is a great, funny novel, and more about having a good relationship with yourself than with a man. Kate and Tracey are both strong women facing huge turning points in their lives. Their strong friendship and sense of humor see them through. I stongly recommend this book for any adult and my husband recommends it too - for the naughty bits ;)
