Summary: Good, but definitely put-downable
Review: I am currently in the middle of a Brit-Chick-Lit phase and this was the 10th or 11th book I read from that catergory. Although the book was entertaining, if not very funny in parts, I thought it to be near the bottom of the list so far. I would find myself suddenly remembering that I hadn't read it in a few days, and that is very unlike me as I usually finish a book I am enjoying in a day or 2.
Conclusion: Not a terrible read on a rainy day

Summary: Forgettable
Review: I don't get the good reviews on this one. I forgot it almost immediately after I finished it. True, there are some funny parts, and it was a decent way to pass the time sitting in airports, but most of the humor was the typical British stuff and the main character failed to gain my sympathy even til the end. Recommended only if a) you're hooked on this stuff so even the not-so-good is okay or b) you've read all the current chick-lits including both Shopaholics and there's nothing else for you to cover?

Summary: A good read..
Review: 'Tiffany Trott' tries hard to be as good as Bridget Jones but she doesn't quite make it. However, it was still a good read and I will try Isabel Wolff's other novels. What can I say...I've read all of Helen Fielding's novels and I still can't get enough British Chick-lit. I'm hooked!!!!

Summary: more Ally McBeal than Bridget Jones
Review: I enjoyed Wolff's 'Making Minty Malone' a lot, and this was an OK read as well, but it was really hard to care much about Tiffany's life. Tiffany has just turned 37 ("That makes me almost 50!" she declares) so she has decided to date up a storm in order to find a suitable mate. This was rather intriguing to see all the different avenues she takes to meet men: high school reunion, matchmaking service, etc. All through the novel is one man who caught her interest until she discovered he was married -- without ever learning his name.(Kudos to her for saying "no" to married men, no matter how attractive he is nor how many times he keeps running into her!) On the whole, though, if you are 'in between books', and want to read something quick, light and mildly entertaining, this may the book you are looking for.

Summary: OK
Review: I thought this book was definitely a witty read. One of those books you can devour quickly. The characters were great, but the book was a bit unfulfilling at the end.

Summary: A delight for single ladies -- and just about anyone else
Review: As an unpartnered lady, I think this book was EXCELLENT -- funny, sad and true-to-life. And I just LOVED the "thoughts" -- the "I-didn't-actually-say-that" lines! I thought they were GREAT! No, this ISN'T Bridget Jones, it's different (I liked BJ too, but I don't really get all the parallels. They're two different characters, two different books, by two different authors).
As a romantic with a Valentine where her heart ought to be, I didn't care too much for the ending, which is why 4 stars instead of 5, but on the whole, this is a wonderful read for unpartnered ladies -- and just about anyone else!

Summary: You'll Laugh Out Loud!
Review: If you can laugh at yourself, that is. If you're not comfortable about being single maybe you won't like it as it comes close to the knuckle a few times. But this is above all smart, VERY funny and well written with bags of warmth and wit - I like that the hero is called Seriously Successful. I did think that the advertising slogans, which are clearly British, should have been 'translated' into US ones, but that criticism aside I thought this was a wonderful read and I'll be reading Making Minty Malone, and anything else by Woolf I can get my hands on.

Summary: Tiffany Trite?
Review: This book should really be called the TRIALS OF TIFFANY TRITE. It is one of the dullest books of this genre I have tried to read...though in fact...I gave up halfway through. It is peat and repeat through-out as this silly, unfunny girl stumbles over pebbles on the path of love.
Rating:
Summary: A poorwoman's Bridget Jones
Review: About half as good as the Bridget Jones books. It is a quick knock-off that I didn't find half as funny. I would not recommend.

Summary: hard to keep up with
Review: Tiffany Trott is celebrating her birthday and possibly an engagement, or so she thinks, until her boyfriend dumps her. From here on in, Tiffany is on a mission - to find Mr Right before she becomes wrinkly and decrepid. There are blind dates, personal ads, old school friends, singles dinners, agencies and holidays to be tried and tested to sniff out the right bloke. Although this story does have some quite funny scenes, it was not terribly interesting for me. Every time I picked the book back up, I had to try and figure which man she was talking about. Unfortunately it was a case of too many men with forgettable inadequacies. I also tired of the naive nature of the main character, Tiffany. I had had enough of the "Actually I didn't say that, I really said..." scenario. I did finish the book, but I don't feel compelled to try more from this author.
