Your Big Break

I might be bias alittle since Johanna is a personal friend of mine. I went to HS with her and took a socialogy class with her. I have all her published work. Thru out this book I saw a very funny romantic comedy (movie). Same thing with "The next big thing". Johanna is a smart , witty , beautiful and simply wonderful writerand person. I am honored to know her.

For Dani Myers - the best way to get over heartache is to help others through the process. As a communication specialist for "Your Big Break," a company specializing in doing the dumping for you, she acts as the bad guy and gets rid of your pesky soon-to-be-ex as well as retrieves your personal property. Keeping her occupation secret from her family, she is shocked when her latest client is her father's mistress, becomes close friends with a habitual client's ex, and manages to make love connections for some of her recent dumpees. Then to top it off, she's attracted to Brady, one of the dumpees who has no idea of the role she played in his break up or her company strict no getting involved policy. Edwards's sophomore novel retains the wit and stellar storytelling she displayed in "The Next Big Thing." Readers will relate to Dani's life teetering like a roller coaster as she tries to keep all her balls in the air. The dialogue is crisp, the secondary characters are well drawn, and the plotting is tight. Bar none the best ending paragraph of any book I have read! I read it cover to cover in a day and absolutely loved it.

I actually liked this book better than The Next Big Thing. It was so much fun and truly original. I laughed the whole way through and the book was an extremely quick read. I picked it up for vacation and finished it in three days. Definitely recommended. My only critique is the ending came a little too fast. But overall this is a winner!

I read Johanna's previous book and passed it on to my mom who loved it as well. We both read 'Your Big Break' and again, loved it. Johanna Edwards has written yet another funny book with an original plot filled with lively, loveable characters. Highly recommended by both my mom and I... give this great chick lit a chance! I'm looking forward to reading more books from this author. Keep on writing =D .

This is one of the most entertaining books I've read in quite a while. The main character being in the break up business gives the book so many quirky and humorous turns. The relationships between the characters are beautifully crafted. Fabulous chick lit!!
