Summary: Just OK
Review: The first chapter she gets engaged and the last chapter she gets married so everything in between is related to the pressures of planning a wedding and being engaged. This girl is in her mid 30s, last of her friends to get married. I didn't like the vibe that this chick had to get engaged/get married to be a whole person. However, I did like that it is set in SanFrancisco and you'll get some references that are neat.

Summary: Funny, every woman can relate...
Review: Short snappy paragraphs with some "on-the-nose" insights into the "engaged to be married" period of a woman's life. Some laughing out loud moments in this book.Loved the friend that was a QVC addict.

Summary: brilliantly funny
Review: Bought it at LAX just before a flight to NYC -- turned pages with glee through the worst airline meal known to man. Must have sold five copies to fellow passengers, through my humiliating outbursts of laughter. Unusual in a book so funny, it's also oddly moving - every chapter hoards wisdom. Great read.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This is a brilliant novel. And I'm a guy. (And I have to say to those people who have written lonely one star reviews: it's a novel, get a life. It's make believe, just like, oh, I don't know, Barbie.) Funny, yes. But also interestingly profound. Which I feel, personally, is a fair fifty-fifty thing. This really is a book about the process (and it is a process) of engagement. I have a hunch, but no proof, that this is really a bio disguised as a novel. I like to think this, anyway. I like to think there is a real Eve out there somewhere. An actual woman. At least, I'd like to hope there is. On a personal note, I have to say: My girlfriend became the Bitch From Hell after we set The Date. She read this book and it was like she had suddenly entered a Valium haze. All of a sudden, she was calm, cool. The panic was gone. I think because she sort of identified with the main person in the book. She felt like she wasn't alone thinking she was crazy. The ONE complaint I have about this book is a line in the book that says something like, "a sock on the floor is a sock on the floor for the rest of my life" or something. Anyway, the same is true for me. For the rest of my life, I will walk into the bathroom in the morning and be greeted by nylons hanging over MY towel. And also, there's never any room in the medicine cabinet. At least I hope.

Summary: what a babe
Review: This Eve sounds like one hot babe. She is passionate, smart, funny and very human. She also is a good friend to the men and women in her life. I like loyalty and I loved this book.

Summary: No regrets
Review: Not long ago I saw this book at Barnes and Noble in their DISCOVER GREAT NEW AUTHORS section, but I thought I would wait for the paperback. Then when I logged on and read all the positive reviews both from customers and the media on this site, I broke down and bought it for the full fifteen bucks. Well - my buyer's remorse faded within ten pages.... I got my money's worth...Laughed, cried, and was sorry to see the final chapter end.

Summary: A riot
Review: I thought this book was a riot. It made me laugh out loud at least once a chapyter, and the writing was excellent and very original. I gave it to my best friend and she loved it too -- we now refer to the Grand Klong regularly. Fun and full of heart! I also recommend The Girls Guide To Hunting And Fishing...

Summary: Hysterical & witty
Review: This book made me laugh out loud. It was great to follow along with Eve's emotional roller coaster. I bought it for all of my friends who are engaged.

Summary: Falls flailingly short....
Review: When I first chose this book from the shelves of my local bookstore, I was hopeful that I would finally find someone that I could identify with. The lead character initially captured my heart, but managed to somehow degrade herself into a weak, selfish, characterless excuse for today's strong, self-sufficient woman. Sure, she got the man she always wanted, but did so by such trite and tactless means that it troubles me still. If, however, I had to say that I received some portion of a benefit, it would be that I realized what type of woman I will not be in the future. I may be 31 and still unmarried, but I will find my man by my own strengths and not at the expense of my own dignity.
