I agree with all of your points, Jay. I just hated the book even more than you did. It was just terrible. Ack. Must get the taste out of my mouth.

How did you like the bit at the end when you find out the mom’s general skankitude has been, in fact, pointless because she’s only ever had an orgasm with her “true love.” I thought for awhile that Apodaca was trying to make a feminist point - that “real men” can love women who break the conventional boundaries of sexual morality. But Ivy’s relative helplessness in dealing with her ex-boyfriend’s perfidy (Luke has to save her from danger) kind of skews that.

HEY you!

Have nothing to say about the book, other than I like brava too ;). But I am beyond happy to see you are still among the living and school hasn’t keeled you yet.

Don’t be a such a stranger.

“Meanwhile, there’s a pair of antique statues called the Jade Goddesses. They’re purported to bring out the owner’s deepest desire, and deepest lust. The statues have gone missing and Luke Something has been hired to track them down. He suspects Ivy is hiding them and so he gets a job at the radio station so he can do more investigating.”

Just this bit of silliness would have been enough to make me regret buying the book.

Thanks for the review, Jay.

Ruined as an accountant, Ivy used her experience to become the host of the popular radio talk show The Economic Sex Hex, where she advises women not to mix money and sex.

Unless you’re in the oldest profession in the world…or coming to Vancouver 2010. This article left me a little speechless.

Ruined as an accountant, Ivy used her experience to become
the host of the popular radio talk show
The Economic Sex Hex
, where she advises women not to mix money and sex.

Maybe I’m just overthinking things here, (always a possibility), but the premise for that talk show doesn’t seem like something that’d work in the long run. I mean, just by reading the book review, I think I get the gist of what Ivy’s advice is. How much more could she possibly have to say about the topic?
