White Bikini Panties

This was a great read. The main character, Trina, was very likable and real. I felt like she was someone I would really get along with and enjoy being friends with during my twenties. Her dating escapades were juicy and entertaining {with a touch of kinkiness}, while her relationships with her family, friends and coworkers were funny and relatable. The book also touched on real issues that single and married couples face today that made this book a MUST READ!

The thing I like best about Kelly James-Enger as an author is her absolute candor and lack of pretense. She's unusually honest and real in her writing. The love relationships in this book, as well as the family and friend relationships, are very flawed and complicated, as in real life. Reading Kelly James-Enger's books is like talking to a close friend. She does a great job with dialog, and the characters are well developed and easy to relate to. She's also not afraid to tackle tough subjects like bulimia and infertility, and she portrays the emotions accurately and realistically. I would definitely recommend White Bikini Panties, as well as her first novel, Did You Get the Vibe. I look forward to reading the next one.

Looking for a book that is easy to read, yet has enough substance to keep you interested? If so, Kelly James-Enger's White Bikini Panties is that book. Trina, the main character, is believable and likeable as we follow her through the fun and pressures of life as a young adult. How does she deal with her job as a writer for a kitchen gadget company in the suburbs, while living in the city, handle a cheating boyfriend, and withstand pressures from her family's demands? Simple- she changes her underwear and changes her life. If you are past this stage in your own life, it will bring back memories; if you are just entering this stage it will give you insight. An enjoyable read that will leave you waiting for James-Enger's next work.

I really enjoyed this book! It was the first I've read of hers and am so happy that this book introduced me to her writng, her website, other books and endeavors! I really enjoyed her book, Her main character Trina had a slighly sarcastic edge, and Enger pulled it off wonderfully, which, is not that easy to do. Some of my favorite things about the book, are the way Trina dealt with the men and the way men reacted to her, classic real life reactions that don't come across a lot in the books, I've read I liked the way the other aspects of her life surrounded her work, family and goals. It was just a great book, that lived up to its title, truly!! Hope to see more of her work!!

Kelly James-Enger writes wonderful chick lit. Her first book was great and White Bikini Panties is another successful entry. What sets these books apart from alot of chick lit is that her characters are richly developed. While there is lots of humour, there is always a touch of seriousness that adds wonderfully to the mix. Also, there is always a "situation" in the book which the author chooses to resolve in a non-conform manner (Ethan and Jessie). I love all the characters in this book and if I have a complaint is that Kelly James-Enger's books always feel too short for me. I am already looking forward to the next one. Buy this one.
