Hooking Up by Jessica Degarmo
August 8, 2011

REVIEW: Hooking Up by Jessica L. Degarmo

JaneD Reviewschick-lit / Contemporary / First-Person / one night stand / stalker5 Comments

Dear Ms. LeGarmo: I bought this book based its placement on the Romance Kindle bestseller list, the sample and the 25 reviews, most of which were positive. It’s told in the first person but that has never deterred me before. The best part of Hooking Up is the sample which ... more >

REVIEW: The Hating Game by Tallie Roland

Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) Genre: Romantic Comedy Grade: B Surprisingly I’ve never read the book on which the movie is based and which spawned a whole new literary style. I’ve read plenty of other Chick Lit books and love the genre but, the grandmother of them all is still on ... more >

Get Lucky by Katherine Center
June 10, 2010

REVIEW: Get Lucky by Katherine Center

JayneB Reviewschick-lit / Contemporary / pregnancy / texas2 Comments

Dear Ms. Center, Le sigh…okay I’ll confess that whenever Jane sends me inquiries to review Chick Lit books, or heaven forbid, the actual Chick Lit book itself, I can’t help myself. My fingers itch to at least open the front cover to see if maybe this book will work for ... more >
