The Botox Diaries by Janice Kaplan, Lynn Edelman Schnurnberger

kathystl's review against another edition

1.0

I got about 30 pages in. The dialog is totally unbelievable. The guy the narrator goes on a date with is over-the-top cheesy as to be beyond belief. And the best friend's husband doesn't know that her daughter is adopted? Um, no.

Es una novela bastante divertida, no hubo un momento en que no la disfrutara.
La ambientación en Nueva York fue perfecta ya que esto le añadió el toque de glamour a la historia.
A través del libro podemos ver como Jess y Lucy plantan cara a la crisis de la madurez a su manera.
El romance y la comedia se complementan a la perfección.

Fun, light read. It took me a chapter or two to get into it but then I didn't want it to end.

My library tends to specialize in political books and lesser-known chick lit selections. This is one of the latter. It was advertised as something akin to Sex and the City, so I was all up for it (as my library co-op has never carried the original SATC book). So, what do we have? Two New Jersey women, one married and spectacularly famous, one divorced and made slightly famous by her well-meaning daughter. Hilarity ensues. Okay, it doesn't. It has its moments, but it's not the greatest book ever. I will say, though, that at the very least, the ending was not just *poof* there, which is the worst trait a book can have.

I got this book as a freebie in a goodie bag and although I'd never really had any interest in reading it, I figured no book is better than a free book (I have since re-thought this philosophy). So I decided to give it a whirl and plucked it out of my "to read" pile and boy am I glad that I did! The writing team of Lynn Schnurnberger and Janice Kaplan have delighted us with a uproarious novel about the difference between growing older and getting better as two friends struggle to keep up while holding on to what they treasure most, their family and their friendship.

`THE BOTOX DIARIES' was funnier than I imagined and kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning trying not to laugh so hard that I would wake my husband! I now see why this was last summers "it" book and can't wait to read `MINE ARE SPECTACULAR' by this amazing writing team!
