Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Total Enjoyment
Review: I found this book to be so funny because it was so believable. I couldn't put it down and finished it in 2 days. I liked that each situation has an acceptable resolution.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For Better For Worse
Review: I usually do not purchase romance novels, however on tue morning I happened to tune into Regis and Kelly who reviwed this book. I purchased it and couldn"t put it down, it"s humerous and exciting, I just gave it to my wife to read and she can"t put it down. I look forward to Carole Matthews next book. Sooner rather than latter I hope.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite book this summer
Review: I instantly liked the main character, Josie Flynn; what could be worse than your husband leaving you for a home wrecker with double-D cleavage who wears lycra leopard-print thongs? Josie has the good sense to leave England for New York, to attend her American cousin's wedding. I laughed out loud at the writer's droll observations about men, love, and women's friendships. A witty, warm-hearted read that I highly recommend.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: YAWN YAWN YAWN
Review: IF I EVER READ ANOTHER BOOK THAT KELLY SUGGEST, I WILL NEED MY HEAD EXAMINED,.,, WHAT A DRAG THIS BOOK IS DON'T BUY, DON'T READ IT AND KELLY HOW ABOUT RETIRING, YOU ARE GOOD ON YOUR SOAP AND WITH REGIS BUT THE BOOK CLUB HAS GOT TO GO

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun Summer Read
Review: If you want something light that's just plain fun, check this out. Lots of laughs and hilarious situations with a hint of Bridget Jones. For relationship dramas with more depth and emotion, definitely read Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin and The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks - my two all-time favorites.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Tried too hard to be funny
Review: It was a very simple and unimaginative story. The author just added a few irrelevant and irritable characters, poor sense of humour to make it so long-winded. So many pages are just too annoying to read.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible Book
Review: I recommend not wasting your money or your time with this book. It's formulaic and tries (unsuccessfully) to be funny by being very, very negative. The characters and the plot were irritating.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny romantic comedy
Review: Sure the premise is the same two-people-meet-briefly-and-then-lose-contact-with-each-other-and-desperately-trying-to-find-each-other-again that you find in most of these books, but Matt Jarvis's search to find his Josie is worth it. I couldn't help laughing as he goes through mishap after mishap trying to find the woman of his dreams while Josie is dealing with the wedding from hell and her obnoxious ex-husband. I thought that the ending could've had more in it but it was cute nonetheless. If you like reading romantic comedies, you'll love reading this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Modern Romantic Tale
Review: I picked up my friends copy of For Better For Worse as i was intrigued to see what she was laughing at, and once i started to read it i couldn't put it down.
This is one of those books that will keep you up at night turning the pages to see what happens next, it was thoroughly enjoyable, one of the best books i have read in a long time, would i recommend it - you'd be crazy not too......

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Passable at best
Review: "For Better for Worse" is a romantic "comedy" about Josie, separated from her husband and flying to New York to be bridesmaid at her cousin's wedding. On the flight she meets Matt and they hit it off and arrange to meet up again later that day. Sparks fly, but through a series of blunders and misadventures the two lose contact with one another. At the same time Josie's soon to be ex-husband is flying over from London to try to win her back, and her cousin is about to make a disastrous mistake...

This is a quick and undemanding read. The plot has just enough twists to keep you interested - although you know where it is probably going to end up at times it is hard to see how it is going to get there. However the comedic part of it falls flat. It's just not funny and at times it's downright stupid. Also, the characters are all very one-dimensional. This means that you end up not really caring what happens to any of them.

An okay read, but no more.
