Summary: Great Mindless Reading
Review: Great quick read. With all the waiting time in Airports now, I read it on a trip to Boston last weekend. a Fast read, a funny read with mostly believable characters in situations that are all too real. Tries to do a bit too much with the "tidy, happy" ending ... but I enjoyed it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: if you snooze with this book, you definitely DO NOT lose
Review: this book is a snooze from page one. it definitely had great potential, but it didn not live up to anything beyond writing that should definitely not have been published.
I love this category of books; the 20-something women or early 30-something women, trying to find a decent man in this forsaken country, while also trying to maintain a job, their friendships, and their sanity. but this book was far from entertaining. Each and every time i picked it up, i wanted to put it straight down. I actually don't quite know why i ever finished it. I guess i was hoping for it to get a bit better.
please, don't make the same mistake that I did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: jane gets 5 stars
Review: I just loved reading this book! Senate really makes it easy to relate to Jane that you feel like you are going through the motions with her. It wasn't too corny or too over-dramatic, it was just right. I definately recommend this book to any single gal, and have passed it onto my friends as well!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: predictable and boring
Review: This book was sooooo boring! The dating was supposed to be the important part of the book so why was it surrounded with way too much fluff about her job and Natasha? The book should have been 75 pages. The ending was just a little TOO predictable. Read Mr. Maybe or Jemima J instead of this one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dating World Woes
Review: Good book. I enjoy reading books about single girls in their 20's (I can realte) just trying to find a decent guy and ending up finding men who show the side of themselves that has kept them single. Overall entertaining. This book is by Red Dress Ink who focuses on this scenario alot. I highly recommend their books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Okay, this book was good
Review: You could kind of see what was coming and perhaps it was a bit predictable, but this was a fun and entertaining read.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Shallow
Review: I wanted to like this Bridget Jones clone. The character, Jane, was just too annoying- no wonder she couldn't find a boyfriend. I give this two stars, because I did read it all, towrds the end I WAS skimming.

All Jane does is whine about her job- hmm she has an entry level position...don't many 20 somethings, her small apartment - it's NYC get over yourself. Her wardrobe from Ann Taylor and Banana Republic- not exactly low end shops! She is downright nasty to/about her family and coworkers. She has a real sense of entitlement. I found it revolting that she only quit smoking for some guy not even for herself.

The ending was obvious, I think a book about the other characters might have been better. I also need to add that the scene where she compares herself in Bloomingdales to Holly Golightly at Tiffany's was nearly offensive! How did the editor allow shallow nasty Jane to be likened to the spirited Holly?!?

Skip it.....

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Whaaaaaa
Review: Okay, okay, so maybe I am being a little harsh but this book is like 200 and something pages of whining. All Jane does through the whole book is feel bad for herself. Well, I can't say the whole book because the last three pages is when she finally realizes that her life isn't not so bad. Not only does she complain but she also judges. First she says something about feeling bad about how people look down on her and then she is putting someone else down in her mind. I guess you could consider this book realistic because in a way we all do that but it wasn't enjoyable to read.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It took me awhile to get through.
Review: Ok, I liked the ending of the book. I think that was about it. The reason I gave it 3 stars was only because I enjoyed the ending. As for the rest of the book, it was a bit too woe-is-me and irritating. Jane whines FAR too much, I just wanted to reach through the book and slap her. She never really dates. She goes on a series of blind dates, most of them were really horrible, and all the time she is admiring someone from afar. Her family seems dysfunctional, but they're really quite normal. Jane is just a little too sarcastic and it gets on everyone's (including my own) nerves.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I tried and I couldn't
Review: I have picked this book up several times and tried to read it but it just doesn't catch me in the first few chapters. I don't know about the rest of you but if I'm not totally into the book by the 4th chapter I find it hard to continue reading it. There are just so many great books out there that I don't think you should waste your time trying to read this one.
