This was mildly entertaining—a once-a-year indulgence into chic lit—a gap-fill between more thought-provocing literature.

Chick lit wins me over again. Although not incredibly good chick lit. It was well-written in that I hated who I was supposed to hate and liked who I was supposed to like. I don't remember why I rented this, but thankfully, it was short, and not a chunk of my life I'll never get back.

This is the perfect chick-lit book! It has the glamor, drama, luxury, and everything else you would expect and desire from chick-lit. I loved the overall message of the book and the ending was just perfect. I do have to say that the writing at times was a bit cringe and there is a relationship that the protagonist forms (don’t want to spoil) that is even more out of place and cringe, but it doesn’t rob from the goodness of the story. Overall, an excellent light hearted read!

Filled with every chic-lit cliche! Main character: Wholesome girl who doesn't realize how drop-dead gorgeous she is moves to the Big City; quickly gets 'noticed' by her boss, gets a huge unrealistic promotion which allows her to design jewellery, her dream career; she has upstanding morals about relationships yet loves the 'wild' married guy and doesn't notice the great 'good' single guy (rich and good-hearted) standing right in front of her (who is also a cliche); both are caught up with a superficial, materialistic rich crowd but don't really belong; both do 'real' volunteer/charity work, not just the benefit galas like their rich friends.
Actually, it's not much different from that movie with Jennifer Aniston, Jay Mohr and Kevin Bacon.
Predictable climax and ending fit right in there with all the other cliches.
Not worth the time of a discernable reader.
