Summary: I don't remember Hawaii ever being this much fun!
Review: I'll be honest, this is my girlfriend's book. Personally as a straight male I wouldn't be caught dead reading a book like this. But my girlfriend read it and I kept wondering what the hell she was laughing out loud about. She handed the book to me several times over the days that she was reading it and I found myself cracking up as well. Needless to say, when she was finished, I picked it up. I'm normally the "Stephen King" type book reader, but this book is damn funny, especially for a "chick book". Anyways, I'm sure the women will love this book, but if you're a guy and want some hilarious insight into the way a woman's mind can work, pick this book up. Of course this is fiction (wink, wink).

Summary: Perfect reading if your'e wearing flip-flops
Review: This is a fast, fun, novel that would be perfect anytime you are looking for that somewhat mindless read (vacation, sick in bed, etc). You will laugh guaranteed, and if you are of an age to have any lingering romantic memories about Davy Jones of the Monkees, you will love it.

Summary: A Great Summer Read
Review: This is one of those books that pulls you in from the very beginning. The dialogue is funny and sharp, and extremely well written. Keeley, the main character, is from the midwest and I found myself relating to many of her observations. This is a book that makes you laugh out loud (especially when Keeley is describing a past event or thinking about something that could happen in the future). I loved the scene when she was thinking about family tales that she would someday pass on to her grandkids (or, as Keeley noted, probably wouldn't pass on). And, her interactions with her attorney are hilarious. I really enjoyed the witty dialogue, the repartee between the characters, and the way the story played out.
I loved the book and would give it a top recommendation to my friends. This book is great fun!

Summary: The book was alright
Review: What a wonderful find! Very witty with great characters. She had me laughing from the first paragraph -- seriously! I outright roared at the origami exhibit, winced in L.A., gulped when....well, I won't spoil it. Jill is a talented storyteller who will keep you in stitches with her sarcastic one-twos. Much like her other writing, this book puts you right there with the characters, almost as one of them, rather than as a spectator. The story rolled so well I felt I was watching her share her story, complete with the usual side comments and brief histories that pepper animated conversations. This novel is also visually provocative, but not blatantly so, which would have been dreadful. I read this book in two evenings, with young boys charging about, even, because I didn't want to put it down. Keely is a character that you want to "wahoo!" for, as she attempts to gracefully glide through such difficult times. The allusions to the time and place of her youth are, trust me, dead-on, another reason I really like this book. The other characters are rife with mannerisms and idiosyncracies enough to fill a Bob-Lo boat. While I've never actually been there yet, the descriptions in "Flip-Flopped" led me into what I imagine would be real-world Hawaii, off the beaten resort path. Who needs Fabio?! Kam in his surf duds, with the descriptions of this clever authoress, does it for me. Now, where did I put that Hawaiian music CD? We're having pineapple chicken tonight, btw.
