Yes, it's a chick book. But it's a fun/good chick book. I'm not making you men read it, so no whining!

I read this and thought it was a fun, light read.  It seemed like it was written to be made into a movie.

Oddly, my mother read it and thought it was too saucy.  I don't know why.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

Too saucy. Heh. I think I can maybe see what she's saying. But then, this is a 'modern' girl's POV, and, well, us modern girls are saucy in general, don't you think?

Saucy, eh? Excellent. This book actually sounds intriguing. I'll have to add it to my shopping cart... Thanks, Nessa.
