I **loved** this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is full of laughs from the first page until you read the last sentence. Others have posted good reviews about the plot, characters, yadayadayada....so I won't duplicate what has already been said. I will tell you that Ms. French is my "new" favorite author and I can't wait to read what she's got in store for her readers next!!
Hilarious! Laugh out loud funny!....

This novel is so funny, the author has a great way of being sarcastic and witty. I enjoyed the descriptions of people and several times I laughed at loud and read passages to my husband.I recommended this book to my own mother and she loved it too. What a great mothers day gift to give you own mom, something that will make her chuckle. I look forward to Wendy French's next novel, this author is great!

Loved this book! It had me laughing out loud! The author knows how to use sarcasm so I could definitely relate to how the main character was feeling! She has great one-liners and descriptions that I wish *I* would have thought of! Can't wait to read her next book!
Fabulous!

This book is a quick and hilarious read. It's supposed to be funny and it most certainly is. The author has unusual style and, obviously, a sense of humor. It's not like anything else out there and that is what makes it good.
Hilarious!!
