Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: This is a great, easy to read, inspiring, and funny book. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down..(I read it in two nights) Linda Curnyn writes in a way that makes you feel like you're there, and you really get to know the characters. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone that ones to laugh outloud.

Summary: Easy reading and very entertaining
Review: This is a really good book to read when you are alone and wanted to touch your inner soul. We can all related to Emma and many of the charaters in this book. I just ordered See Jane Date and Miklrun, I can't wait to read all these books from RedDressInk.

Summary: Good, but I have read some that are better (3 1/2 stars)
Review: What happens when your boyfriend of 2 years moves across the country because of a job? Do you follow him, break up with him, or obsess about him?
Emma Carter never had a chance, or a choice. Her boyfriend goes to California to be a script-doctor, possibly sell a screenplay, and leaves her, the newly titled "ex girlfriend," all by her lonesome in New York.
While surrounded by other couples who seem perfectly happy to be together, Emma plays it off and pretends that everything is wonderful between her and Derrick. People continually ask about her relationship status (like her mother who is on her third marriage) and want Emma to get married too.
With "Sex and the City" type characters, Jade, who jumps in and out of every bed in New York and happy to do it, Rebecca, who seems the perfect girlfriend (and she hopes) soon to be wife, and Alyssa, who should be happy in her relationship but is starting to fall for her veterinarian instead, Emma is heartbroken and feels that she will never find love again. Or, will she?
I gave it as many stars as I did because the author captured what it feels like to be heartbroken over a guy, and broken up with when you didn't see it coming. How everyone else seems more happy than you are and you just need to be with someone again!! I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and the "confessions" sprinkled throughout the book.
I didn't give it more stars because it seemed rather formulaic at times. Emma never seemed happy with herself on her own. (Of course, being heartbroken may do that to you) but there were some added subplots (with work and her alcoholic dad) that didn't seem to make it that much more interesting. At times it became predictable and I wanted to finish it.
All in all, it was pretty good and I will read Lynda Curnyn's books again.

Summary: Another average one by Red Dress Ink
Review: When I first started the Red Dress Ink series, I was very enthused. However, the books in this series have become progressly more boring.Confessions of an Ex Girlfriend is the latest example. Although this could have been a very interesting look at "the ex", this books turns out to be just another mish-mash of comments and the confessions part is really just a few sentences at the end of a chapter. I do like that they do not use the "perfect ending" in this book, but there was definitely something missing here.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: Wonderful book. Really funny, emotional and sweet. I can't wait for Curnyn's next novel! One of my fave RDI's so far.
