What Looks Like Crazy (A Kate Holly Case)

DNF. Awful book.

This book had me laughing the whole way through. It's a simple read and obvious that Hughes is best buds with Janet Evanovich and yet it's a style all it's own. I recommend this to any who wants a fun book with love, mystery, and TONS of laughter! I cannot wait for the next in this series.

To sum up my thoughts of What Looks Like Crazy, in two words, is actually pretty easy - loved it!! This was such a fun and all around entertaining story and it was so easy to fall into the pages. The main character of Kate is awesome. She is a Psychologist who seems to be sent the craziest of the crazy. As she tries to make sense of her topsy turvy life, she must try to help set the lives of others straight. With a cast of wacky and lovable characters, Ms. Hughes tells a delightful story that is sure to bring many laughs, as well as make the reader fall in love with Kate, Jay, the soon to be ex-husband, Mona, Kate's best friend and anything but shy secretary, Kate's Mother, Aunt and so many more. I found myself even adoring Kate's stray mutt, Mike, who it turns out is a girl pregnant with puppies! What Looks Like Crazy is extremely well written, tons of fun and a great quick read to relax with. Nutcase is the follow-up to this, due out Feb. 24th and I can't wait! Fans of Janet Evanovich, Shirley Jump, Susan Donovan and similar authors, will delight in Charlotte Hughes and What Looks Like Crazy!

I can hardly wait for the next book by this very talented and funny writer. Kate Holly is a character that we can all relate too. This is one book that you do not want to miss!

Clinical psychologist Kate Holly feels her world is imploding as her newest client Kevin Bosley threatens to jump off the roof while she asks affluent psychiatrist Thad Glazaen who sent him to her for help what the problem really is. Thad asks her to describe her underwear. Kate is also counting down the days before her divorce from fire captain Jay Rush becomes legal; she still loves Jay, but his work frightens her as her dad died fighting a fire. Finally her mom and her aunt, the renowned "junque sisters", plant in cement a naked statue that has angered her neighbors especially Bitsy Stout. Her wealthy secretary Mona Epps assists Kate with all her woes by insisting that sex is what she needs. However, the only man she wants to share her bed and his is Jay. Kate knows WHAT LOOKS CRAZY is crazy as Jay insists her work is much more dangerous than his. WHAT LOOKS LIKE CRAZY is an entertaining character study of a psychologist whose life feels out of control. Kate is a delightful center holding the plot together while an eccentric wild bunch of secondary players pulls her in a zillion different directions. Although somewhat a meet the crazies (including Kate) tale, fans will enjoy this humorous zany opening act due to the antics of that crazy cast. Harriet Klausner

This a fun, intelligent, well-written book! Remember, Hughes partnered with Evanovich on the Full Series, so you won't be disappointed.
