Great review. Although I must admit, I totally buy into the comforts of cheesy chick lit, I also really love to read more serious women’s fiction. Both have a particular special place in my heart and I like to keep a balance which is why this is definitely on my TBR list even though I have a few books with neon pink covers next to it. I’m glad that you liked this one.

I am not familiar with this book or author but I really like the cover. I know based on your review this is a book I will enjoy reading. I have similar feelings about chci-lit and definitely romance. but there are good bookd by female authors that blur the lines a bit.
Thank you!

I've been much happier since I stopped being a book snob and just decided to read what I felt like reading. I do try things and discover I don't really like them (any books that involve shopping and name dropping) but for the most part I do enjoy most things. And this sounds like a good one even if the premise is a bit common! .-= Meghan´s last blog ..Review: Santa Olivia, Jacqueline Carey =-.

I definitely never knew any distinction like this
But then after reading several categorization I now know what chick-lit was!
I thought I won’t enjoy it But funny, i loved some of the books I read! For me YA and chick-lit are same!
After getting into blogging, I have really started reading genres, i would never read… and this from Women authors is so cool! I would definitely look up all the 3 authors you have mentioned

I think I’m under the spell of the same prejudice as you are. I’ve never read an ounce of chick-lit, etc. Yet, your review sounds earnest and the book you reviewed, promising. Maybe I’ll actually check it out!

P.S. I was just reading a few of the comments, and I have to admit that I’ve not only taken the jacket of a particularly embarassing YA book (that’s not too remarkable for me, as I usually remove covers to preserve them), but I also sneakily covered the spine (a.k.a. title) with my hand. Even worse, I actually own three out of the four books in the series. Oh, kill me. It’s humiliating to admit!
