Summary: Not pleased
Review: I read Wolff's other book (the making of minty malone) before this one, and was very disappointed when I read this one. I felt attached to the title character, but felt she was in a lose lose situation that did not resolve by the end of the book. My suggestion...read Minty Malone...you find out what happened to Tiffany anyway.

Summary: A decent beginning, but there are far more enticing reads...
Review: ....a light novel, full of rather predictable yet vaguely compelling scenerios and characters. Isabel Wolff is a very popular author, and one does appreciate the occasioanl Book Lite -- but a far funnier and better book is Otherwise Engaged, by Suzanne Finnamore -- or Bridget Jones by Helen Fielding, or Girls Guide To Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Banks. They are more thoughtful and original, sophisticated yet truth-bearing -- and overall more enlightening on the state of the singlehood. I think if you don't come away with a satisfied feeling from your ten dollars, it just isn't that good and could easily be borrowed at the library. Great is the enemy of Good, I suppose....thus the popularity of Jane Austen, still!!

Summary: She is human and funny... Tiffany Trott
Review: This is without question someone's life. There is the boyfriend who wears woman's underware, Alex. Phil, who's mother tells Tiffany to be glad she know's where he is when he is "Golfing". And then there is her dislike for some mens names... Terry, Kevin or Duane. So she is looking for Mister "ok-looking-bordering-on-almost-acceptable". The ups and downs of her dates are really what make this book funny. Because I think everyone is a commitophobe at one point or another.
Read this it is short and easy to get through. The perfect airplane book.

Summary: This book is at best mediocre
Review: I am in my upper 20's and truly enjoyed the book "Getting Over It". I looked for recomendations based on that book and "The Trials of Tiffany Trott" was suggested to me. I did not enjoy the book. If you are looking for a story about a sad woman who cannot ever find a man, then you might enjoy this. The whole book is date after unsucsessful date. And the ending was very disappointing to me. If you enjoyed "Getting Over It" like I did, I would steer clear of this book, it is not the same humor.

Summary: Not impressed
Review: I am a huge fan of Bridget Jones, Shopaholic and Jane Moore's Fourplay, but was not impressed by Tiffany Trott. I wish I had something good to say about it. It droned on and on. The story could have easily been condensed to under 300 - or even 200 pages. I will buy other Wolff novels can't put my stamp of approval on this one.

Summary: Better Than Chick Lit!
Review: I hardly ever give Chick Lit 5 stars, but I couldn't help myself with this one! I don't know why it's taken me forever to get to this book, but I am so happy I finally read it. I was very surprised at how wonderful it would turn out to be, especially after reading so many formulaic single-girl-in-the-city books. Two thumbs up for this one! The Trials of Tiffany Trott tells the story of our lovely heroine, Tiffany, and her struggle to find happiness. After being dumped by Phil, her boyfriend of three years, and Alex, the one who likes to wear women's underpants, Tiffany is at a loss. Being 37-years-old doesn't help much either, especially when her biological clock can be heard ticking from miles away. If it wasn't for her group of mostly single friends, Tiffany would probably go insane. But Tiffany is determined not to be knocked down, to get back on that horse and ride, to put herself through tortuous blind dates, numerous singles events, and the dreaded personal ad, in order to find to Mr. Right. Sounds like your typical chick lit story, but there is just something different about this one. Maybe it is because the main character is older and not ditzy, that she likes her job, or maybe because it is tons funnier than other reads in this genre. Whatever the reason, I believe all fans of chick lit will find something a little bit better in this book. I highly recommend it for its laughs and incredible storyline. And now I've got two more of her books to look forward to!

Summary: The trials of reading Tiffany Trott
Review: Tiffany Trott is not a likeable character. She whines too much about the most trivial things and the funny moments throughout the book are sparse. It's repetitive, with no storyline and you loose interest in her ordeals a quarter into the book.. I can see why she's single...she's utterly annoying. I wouldn't want to date her. TT spends the entire book pining for "super successful", who is never fleshed out, really, and when he finally is available, she doesn't want to be get married--her main objective of the entire book. She will probably be wondering, ten years from now why she didn't marry him, like she did with Kit--then the sequel will follow: "The dilemma of Tiffany Trott: still single at 47!"
Reading all the glowing reviews claiming TT is better than Bridget Jones Diary, I wondered how they could have read the same book I did. The Trials of Tiffany Trott is a "skip it".

Summary: Seriously Smart
Review: This book was really funny. Wolff created a character in Tiffany that most single thirty something women can relate to. The situations in the novel were realistic, if a bit tediously episodic at times. Wolff has a good ear for dialogue, too. Some of the conversations between Tiffany and her friends about relationships really rung true (although there weren't any major insights, either). Each of the characters are distinct, although a few are underdeveloped - mostly because there were actually a few too many. It was nice to see a female character not totally lose track of her friends because she's completely consumed in her quest to land Mr. Right. Overall, the book is genuinely engaging and humourous. On the downside, the book was a little on the slow side at times, and it was too long. I didn't see why Tiffany couldn't forget about Seriously Successful, either. The ending bothered me. I still found it better than Bridget Jones' Diary - unlike Bridget, I could definitely see myself reading this again. However, it didn't quite live up to it's potential enough to garner the fifth and final star.
