3.5 AVERAGE


One of the most hilarious and awesome books I have ever read. Sohpie Kinsella is an amazing writer.

the speaker was slightly annoying, made lots of bad choices, and overall was not really likeable. but it was a readable. i won't be reading the next book in the series. but it wasn't a total waste of time.

Rating is for the new March 2024 Audible

Some of the references are a bit dated, but I really enjoyed it! I'll definitely listen to more.

Guess I really don't like seeing a white woman win, smh

I recently watched the movie for the first time and loved it. It was a rare case, in my opinion, of the movie being better than the book.

I did have fun reading the book, for the most part. I felt like I should be annoyed by the main character, but I actually really liked her. She makes the most ridiculous decisions for the most ridiculous reasons and yet I found her endearing.

The main reason I feel the movie is better is because they nail the character arc and the book bombs it. It wasn't as good in the book as the movie but it was okay ... Until the very end. I couldn't believe the ending. She makes the same mistakes and hasn't changed at all?? I loved the way the book drove home her change and was so disappointed with how the book handled it. If I had read the book first, I probably wouldn't have watched the movie.

Content: some language, talk of sex (in an annoying way most of the time)

Love Becky and a great start to this series. So funny and I'm ashamed I see myself in her. LOL

While a lot of this book wasn't very probable, I still enjoyed it. It was a fluff read, but easy. The characters were likable, especially the lead character of Rebecca!
