The Breakup Club by Melissa Senate

Fun, fluffy and definitely a quick read, I typically enjoy Melissa Senate's stuff as the more intelligent of chick-lit authors whose heroes and heroines tend to have depth and character and are interested in other things other than finding the right guy or landing the right job. Senate's books already remind me that what you think is right for you, may be right for someone else and vice versa; which I think is definitely a very good thing to address. But this time around, in The Break-up Club, the introduction of the four characers, each told their story from first person narrative wasn't as complete as I know Senate's work can and has been. Sentate is usually excellent with character development but I felt like this was a rush job. I liked the premise but I wanted more of the "break-up club" to get their crap together, well, together than having each story told out and repeated. It feels like Senate started out with a great story and the break-up club became a second point much later on -- when in fact they don't actually meet and schmooze each other until more than half-way through the book. Perhaps I'm being overly picky, but I've seen Senate do much better than this and I expected more from her.

First book by Melissa Senate, she did a really great job until the end. It was as if she didnt finish writing it, the story just ended, no wrap up nothing. The reader is left to form their own opinion. Otherwise a well written book, just a major disappointing finish.

SO THIS BOOK WAS GOOD ! I LIKED THAT I HAD 4 DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEWS AND THAT I T OVERLAPPED. THE 4 NARRATORS SOUNDED VERY HUMAN BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS HAHA. LOVED THE STORY! WISH THERE WERE SEQUELS! SUCH AN EASY READ!!

I picked this up as fluff for an airplane ride, and actually rather enjoyed it. It's about a group of editors, and has a cutting comment about "irregardless". Overall, a great way to blow four hours. :)
