First read of 2008!
Title: What Men Want
Author: Deborah Blumenthal
Thoughts: I liked the story, as much as I like most read-it-and-forget-it chick-lit novels. However, a few things stood out that bear mentioning.
1. Typos are bad. She 'died' her hair? Justdeserts.com instead of justdesserts.com? It was meant to be a reference to revenge, not the Sahara.
2. This book had a serious, life-threatening case of 'Cover art? WTF?' as well as the most misleading summary on the back I've probably ever come across. Both the cover art and the back-flap blurb belonged, it seemed, to a different book. (Perhaps a book that bore a slight resemblance to the one contained within these lying covers, but only slight.)
3. Show, don't tell. Please.
I sometimes think my chick-lit addiction is just that: unhealthy.
