Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute!
Review: At the time, this was my favorite Kelly selection. I've now changed my mind but I loved this book. Although it was kind of predictable itw as still a great book and kept my interest throughout.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: If you want to do something useful with your time....
Review: This book was HORRIBLE. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars is becuase the ending was semi-entertaining and half believable. For Better, For Worse goes on and on and on, twisting itself into a knot of repetition, and the writing is very dry, it is hard to hold your interest. I had to skip to the end, and even then, I could pick up the story because it was so predictable! The couple meets, they find out that they are soul mates, but they are both getting married to different people, both cancle weddings, look for each other, then find each other after way too many pages WASTED explaining, and live happily ever after the end. If you want to do something productive with your time, go out and watch Serindipity, which practically has the same story, but MUCH BETTER WRITING.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better and Better
Review: It was good. It was funny. It made me laugh a LOT! A bit too much about the cat at first, but then things justs got better and better. I still can't stop laughing about the duck! Do I want to read more by this author? "I do!" Now stop reading about what I thought and order Ms. Matthews book instead!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I liked it
Review: This was an easy book to read. It was entertaining. I agree it should be a movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good selection from Kelly Ripa's book club!
Review: This is a pretty good novel. In a sentence - it's about finding Mr./Mrs. Right or Mr./Mrs. Right Now at different times for different people in the story. I enjoyed it - and I don't really tend to go for those novels where the story can be a bit far fetched at times. For some reason, I didn't mind that so much in this novel. I don't know quite how to describe it - I would say cute, but then parts of the story are not so cute and may even turn your stomach! I would read this author again.

I read in a previous review, an reviewer thought this novel would make a good movie. I was thinking the exact same thing the other day!!! It would make a great chick-flick!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Should be a Movie
Review: This book reminded me of the movie "Serendipity" - the characters spend a great deal of the book trying to find each other again. I did like the book & think it should be a movie due to all the entertaining circumstances that present themselves throughout the book - it would be better than "Serendipity."

Parts of it were entertaining, but parts were also frustrating. I was frustrated by the author changing to different people each chapter, especially when I wanted to know what happened to the person I was just reading about, but it made me want to keep reading! The duck was a nice touch! I hated Josie's ex-husband - so arrogant & conceited & he doesn't even know it!

I wanted Josie & Matt to get together, but the end was a bit too pat. Matt also was a great guy, but turned into a typical man at different parts. Very entertaining - I read it in less than a day!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't Put it Down
Review: I loved it! This is the second book I have read from Kelly Ripa's list and so far she is on a roll! I could not put this book down at all and I totally reccommend it! I felt for the characters of Matt and Josie so much as they were trying to find one another through the mess of NYC. I felt Josie's pain as she thought she had misread her signal's about Matt because I have done the exact same thing. Reading about how many times they just missed one another was both funny and heart breaking at the same time.
It was romantic and whimsical and funny all wrapped up into one. I think those who are mocking this book obviously do not have imanginations or one ounce of romance in their bodies or they would love the book as much as I and other readers do. Kelly was definantly on the ball with picking this one. I find myself hoping that the author will chose to write a sequel to the book so we can read about what happens to all of the characters as they adjust to the life altering decisions that they have made. It is a must read for all hopeless romantics out there!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Read
Review: I thought this was a great book. I read it after having recently gotten married and just loved it. Of course, you don't have to be "just married" or "married" or even contemplating marriage to enjoy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bridget Jones-esque
Review: I thought this book was light and fun to read. Although it wasn't as good as Bridget Jones, it still had funny British humor and the problems of falling in love. I definitely recommend this book if you're looking for a quick read, and something fun and light-hearted.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How much, Kelly?
Review: I want to know how much the publisher paid Kelly Ripa to recommend this book? Predictable, not very well written and completely contrived with dialogue that is entirely uninspired. The characters had no depth. The writing was difficult to follow. References to the esoteric were over-used.
