( ) From the outset, I didn't really care about this book. I don't like reading about authors, or anyone in publishing, really. And I seem to see a lot of self-help guru heroines celebrating their single status lately (See: What Have I Done For Me Lately, et al). It just doesn't do it for me. Yay, she's a self-empowered post-modern feminist, living la vida loca and all that, then BAM, Handsome Hunky Hero comes along and shows her the error of her man-bashing ways. Cheating at Solitaire is about Julia James, a self-help author famous for writing about the benefits of being single. Of course, wacky hijinx ensue and she meets cute with a hunky struggling actor. The press makes it out to be a scandalous new romance, just as the actor hits it big. Guess what happens next. Uh, yeah. They fall for each other and it's a series of misunderstandings culminating in a happy ending. To be fair, the characters are pretty appealing and Carter's style is engaging, so I read the whole thing without getting bored. I'd liken the book to potato chips, rather than a full meal. I enjoyed reading it, but it didn't satisfy me and I forgot most of the plot details and character names within days. From the outset, I didn't really care about this book.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Self-help guru Julia James is so good at being single that she's become famous for it-advising women that they don't need a man to be happy. Then the unthinkable happens. Just when her newest book, 101 Ways to Cheat at Solitaire, is about to hit stores, a trumped-up piece of gossip linking her to a gorgeous actor hits the papers. Their pictures are splashed all over the tabloids, and now Julia's credibility is about to hit rock bottom. But she isn't going down without a fight. Unless, that is, the actor is going down with her. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
