Rating:  Summary: Extremely Readable Review: The writing is crisp and funny, the story line engaging, Tracey is someone you'd like to know and the ending, tho expected, has enough left open to keep you thinking after you turn the last page. Oh! And don't overlook the dedication on the inside cover page! I really enjoyed this book!!
Rating:  Summary: A book that reminds me of... Review: "Slightly Single" is a wonderful story. Love books like this one. The characters are believable and easy to relate to. The plot engaging and has direction. And the mission - to transform an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. Clever and well thoughtout."Slightly Single" in ways reminded me of ( a movie made by someone very dear to my heart) "The Mirror Has Two Faces" This novel will attract a huge audience because it is a story a lot of people - both men and women can relate to.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Launch For Red Dress Ink! Review: What a fantastic choice of author and book to launch this new line of books for Red Dress Ink! This wonderfully refreshing novel was so realistic and fun to read, I was upset when I finished the book! Wendy has already proved she has so much talent with her suspense novels. This is a different type of novel altogether and it was equally as good and enjoyable. Tracy, the main character, is so REAL, I think there are many women out there who could probably identify with her trials and tribulations. Nothing is going her way, her so-called boyfriend leaves town for the summer, and Tracy decides to improve her life for the better. She looses weight, dumps her boyfriend and even quits her job! This book grabbed me from the very first page and wouldn't let me go. I can now hope that Wendy Markham will write a sequel to this fun and refreshing book, because I think all readers out there want to hear more about Tracy! Don't miss this book, it was wonderful!
Rating:  Summary: Good except the end Review: I found this book to be very engaging until the end. It was as if there was no real end - didn't seem to wrap up resolve issues like normal book endings do. I was disappointed about that - but it held my interest up until that point.
Rating:  Summary: Up to par with the Brit Chick Lit authors Review: I really only read the British authors. Chris Manby. Sarah Harvey. Jane Green. Marian Keyes. This is the first "chick lit" book that I have read that was written by an American and set in NY. I was very pleasantly surprised. I picked this up on a whim and I had it read in under 3 days. Go get it. It is so well written and funny in all the right places. And... it was so real.
Rating:  Summary: A funny book women can relate to. Review: Most women will be able to relate to Tracey, the main character in this book. She has everything going for her...an apartment in NYC, a decent job, friends, and the overly gorgeous boyfriend. But wait...appearances can be deceiving. Tracey begins to analyze her life, her job, and most importantly, her relationship with Will, her actor boyfried. The book is a comical journey through a summer of personal, emotional, and physical discovery with Tracey. While this book has a very 'Bridget Jones' feel, the story holds its own as a good book. It is easy and enjoyable to read, and Tracey is easy to connect with as a character. You will find yourself relating to her in more ways that you dare admit. I recommend reading this book if you have ever been in one of those relationships where you feel...Slightly Single.
Rating:  Summary: a great book... Review: Actually, my name is Tracie, so that is what first hooked me into the book, but I love these modern type romance novels. This definitley met the quota and I couldn't put it down. I think Wendy should write a sequel and tell us what happens to Tracey. One problem is that she repeats herself sometimes and says that she does, like "..as I said before.." I just found that kind of annoying, but other than that I couldn't stop reading it. I would definitley recommend it to a female in their early twenties, even though I am only 17.
Rating:  Summary: Great Tale of the Big City Review: This book is hilarious! If anyone has ever been around this group of people, you will know that Tracy's story of her relationship with the wannabee actor rings absolutely true. The secondary characters are people you know from your own life and a look into the behavior of big city advertising agency people should be treasured. ..I can't believe anyone will be disappointed with this story.
Rating:  Summary: Slightly Superb Review: Slightly Single is great :) I enjoyed every page of this book! Like some of the other reviewers of Slightly Single have stated, I really related to this book's main character and the emotional baggage she carries around from a hideous boyfriend. Every woman, at some point in their lives, has had one. The man they thought the sun and moon rose & set over, who didn't care what happened to her as long as she still adored him. Other than just relating to the novel though, it's just a darn good read! I was amused at the shenanigans the main character Tracey kept getting herself into, and also I love that the novel doesn't end with a sappy fairytale ending where everyone is happy and blissful and fake (don't worry, I'm not giving anything away here!!) So if you're a 20 or 30 something woman looking for an entertaining novel to pass the time on a bus, train, vacation, or whatever, you'll like this book. It's a quick read that's funny. What more could you ask for?
Rating:  Summary: WARNING! Typical romance book with no sense of realism. Review: Don't be fooled by the higher price and the cool-looking cover. This is simply a contemporary romance novel. It's cliche and offensive to strong-willed women -- even those, like an Ally McBeal, who are a little over-romantic. You can have romance and humor -- but not with this rehashed Red Dress Ink series. I think I am dumber for having read this book. I'm definitely dumber for not having noticed that it's a Red Dress Ink book.
