The words "Chick Lit" practically drool off this one. I mean, seriously, the guy's name is Magnus, for God's sake - you didn't have to study Latin to get that one. Cute, not a bad read. Lots of giggling.

Fun, quick, light and a little trashy. Not a bad read...but nothing earth-shattering.

This book had a hackneyed "chick-lit" plot -- a real disappointment, since I liked her first novel "Till the Fat Lady Sings".

I watch a lot of romantic comedy movies but I don't read a lot of romcom books. They seem slow and hampered by wooden dialogue. Not so Alisa Kwitney. I really enjoyed her tale of an aging actress trying to take care of her learning - delayed son by teaching English to Foreign students. The romantic parts were romantic, the funny parts were laugh out loud funny and the sexy parts were very sexy. All the characters seemed very real and the dialogue sparkled. I can't wait to read more of her stuff.

It was a decent book, not really what I was expecting, though. It wasn't poorly written and the characters were interesting enough...I just thought it could have been more. I felt sorry for Kat throughout the book as her life fell apart.

I saw this at the library. I enjoyed it immensely. It was funny and romantic. I also related to her being an actress and the process of learning a language and a culture. That being said, the end was just too easy. It just sort of tidied itself all up and that was a bit disappointing. Books these days often have poor endings full of ellipses. Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised. Parts of it will stay with me.
