Summary: A must read
Review: I have to tell you I am not a big reader, I was shopping around & noticed this book, I read a few pages of it in the store before buying it & it caught my attention. I purchased the book & really didn't start reading it until about 2 days after. I have to tell you that this book kept my attention & I didn't want to put it down. I have told alot of my friends about it & told them that they also have to read it. I found it funny & I could relate to it!! I think this is a must read for all women.

Summary: Not The Best Jane Green - But Not Bad For A Debut
Review: I love Jane Green. She is probably my very favorite author in the whole world. I have had this book for years (it was published in the UK ages ago) and I think that people are going into this book thinking it's new and will be up to her current standards. That is not the case. This is her very first book and only shows moments of her talent and brilliance. Later books really express how much she had grown and how very talented she really is.That being said --- this book is still really good and right up there with other "Chick Lit" books on the market today. It holds it's own against those currently being published - but might pale in comparison to her previous offers. If you go into this as any other chick book - you'll be fine. Just don't think this is a NEW Jane Green book. You might be disappointed. Cheers!

Summary: Very Disappointing . . .
Review: I loved Jemima J. and Bookends so I was excited for this book. What a huge disappointment! I'm glad this wasn't my first Jane Green book because otherwise I would not have read anything else by her. I recommend passing on this one and getting something worth your time.

Summary: Not high on my list...
Review: I patiently waited for this book to be released, because if you've read other Jane Green books then you know she's worth waiting for...But- I must say I was disappointed. I felt like I was constantly waiting for something exciting or unexpected to happen to the characters. I found the series of events highly predictable and almost imaginationless...I think most lacking was a true climax to the story. I don't think this is Jane Green's best work, but if it is the first book of hers you've read don't let it stop you from reading more- I promise the rest are better.

Summary: Real Life Read
Review: I picked this book up while I was on Vacation and once I started to read it I couldn't put it down. I rearely read a book to its end, so when I finished the book in 2 days I was shocked. It's such a real life book that you can't wait to see what happens next. It it a great book to read for fun.

Summary: Pretty good...
Review: I read this on my way back from a trip, and I finished it the same day. It held my attention, and I thought that Green did a good job portraying her characters as real people who make mistakes.

Summary: Her best so far!!!!
Review: I really have to disagree with most of the reviews of this book. I felt this one was her best book so far...i simply could not put it down and finished it in less than 24 hours. Tasha was a bit shallow at times...but almost every man she came in contact with reminded me of one I'd come across myself. I loved Andy, Mel and Emma, too, and can't wait to read "To Have and To Hold".

Summary: Stop talking
Review: I so gald this wasn't the first Jane Green book I've read or I might have not read another one. This book was boring and really long winded. I felt a traped at a party with a shallow and snobby person who can't stop rambling on about themselves. Tasha was very annoying vain and wipmy. You've thought she was 16 not 30 from the way she acted. Straight Talking is very close to Mr.Maybe. I.E. Thirty-something Tasha keeps falling for the worng men. She is very pretty well spoken and posh posh posh. In therapy she tells of her troubled childhood and why she is the basketcase she is today. The plot and ending were so obvious you knew what was going to happen before it even started. If you looking for a good Jane Green read stick to Bookends or Jemima J, but pass this one up.

Summary: disapointed
Review: I was extremely disappointed in Straight Talking simply because I do not feel that I or many women can truly relate the the heroine. She is searching for "passion" in her life in all the wrong places, while the man who can provide everything she needs for happiness is right in front of her. I found the story to be frustrating, and at times I was very annoyed with "Tasha." She seemed very immature at 30.

Summary: This author gets space on every new release table???
Review: I was trolling through the airport bookstore, looking for something light to read ona flight, and I notice that there was A LOT of Jane Green taking up table space. Interesting, I thought - there has to be a reason she sells so well. So I bought this, her first novel. The words "Navel gazing", "trite", "boring", and "retread" come to mind. The "talk" is so idiotic, so simple, that I would never want to befriend these people. And isn't that what you want from chick lit? A few people you wish were your friends? I have nothing against chick lit, but this was awful.
