I bet that everyone will enjoy this battle of the sexes storyline with a twist!

Review: The Flipside imprint won't contain this author for long. I sense a Chick Lit diva in the making here. Great wit. Very clever dialogue. Acerbic edge to the writing suggests the author could up the edginess factor if given the chance in a bigger book. Maybe that's why the ending seemed a bit squashed in and happy-ever-after. It's like she was just getting her stride and hey no more pages left. Also loved the cut-out doll cover. I'll buy anything with a free cut-out doll!
