I read this a couple of years back and thought it was a good read.

Haven’t read this one but I recommend another book of Cecelia, Thanks for the Memories. I don’t want to be a spoiler but the story is about a woman (Joyce) and her blood donor (Justin).

I read this one when it first came out, so I don’t remember all of the details, but I do remember thinking it was just okay. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I can see why Hilary Swank would ruin Holly for you. I was surprised to hear that she’d been cast for the role.

The books I have on my list of Ahern books to read are “The Book of Tomorrow” and “If You Could See Me Now” (I guess, I am not sure that’s the title). I’ll look “A Place Called Here” up too (and thank you for your recommendation!).

Your book also looks quite interesting! I must admit that after reading the blurb I am a bit curious to know what was wrong with Keira’s perfect guy (as I imagine there must be something wrong if her family are so keen on cautioning her) :)

I quite enjoy Ahern’s books. However, I think my favourite one is probably ‘A Place Called Here’.

If you love Ahern, you’ll also love a book I wrote called ‘Knickles and Dimes’. It’s fun and light-hearted and has really great characters. Check it out!

Thanks for the review : )

Have you tried Twenties Girl? (the latest Kinsella, I loved it)

I am afraid I have already read everything published by Kinsella under that name (I remember reading somewhere she has published some books under another name too, but so far I couldn’t actually be bothered to search for more info), but thank you for your recommendation nevertheless :)

The last chick lit I read was Sophie Kinsella’s Remember Me. It was a fine and light read and I actually liked it better than the last few Shopaholic-books where I developed a serious dislike for Becky Bloomwood (again, may be the age difference), but Remember Me was, I remember, actually quite good.

Yay, so I am not alone in my dislike for Holly :)

I too have thought I may be too old for properly appreciating this book. I am not yet 30 but close, so I am more or less the same age as the characters; this means I probably picked this up with certain subconscious expectations (such as for people to have realized by now that there’s more to life than booze). Nevertheless the book is not all bad and there were parts of it I definitely enjoyed :)

Do you have any really good chick lit novel to recommend? I’m fond of the genre but since my TBR pile is huge I have to be quite choosy lately.

Great and well thought out review. One of the reasons I threw this book out after having tried to read it (never got past page 50) was Holly. I didn’t like her at all. I admire your ability to get so much out of what I consider a pretty bad book ;) Now don’t get me wrong – I read quite an amount of chick lit – or at least I used to – and can see through many things which might not ring quite true. But Holly’s story didn’t interest me at all, tragic and everything, I just couldn’t find any sympathy for her.

Also, I admit that I may not be the target audience age wise for a book like this ;)

But great review nevertheless!
