What can I say about this book but I loved it. Parts were totally predictable but sometimes I crave that in a book.
Lexi is one of those characters that you grow to love even though you can't stand her in the beginning. She is your stereotypical heiress but in the end I totally wanted to be her friend. I loved all of the different jobs that she had to complete to get her money "back" especially the vacuuming! I was cracking up so much! I did think she was super smart to Google some of things she didn't know anything about. Her relationship with the babysitter was cute and adoring, totally knew they would end up together.
Overall this was the perfect read for me. It was cute, fun & enjoyable. Loved the cover too.
And if you haven't seen the book trailer, you should watch it (this book would be perfect for like a ABC Family or Disney made for TV movie. I would totally watch it!).

Finally a spoiled brat/princess book I didn't hate! Normally I really hate the attitude and that spoils the book. But with this one it was maybe only the first few pages that had that problem, but soon after that I just was pulled in the book.
I really loved the book. I like her dad and how he picked the 52 jobs for her to complete, I loved her little status reports, how they went from boring and I do not want this, to that she was happily making status reports.
Also the romance, a bit cliche, but still wonderful.
I am happy to see her make a change, from bratty to less bratty and also thinking more about people and values of money and the world.

As someone who also hates her father, I found the title a pretty good catch but the plot itself and the character development made me stay.

This was just what I was needing: a quick, easy, and fun read to get me out of my reading slump. The way it started out, I wasn't expecting to like it much but it actually gets really good and even took a few unexpected turns. I ended up really enjoying this one!

Today is Father's Day.
Oh the irony.
Lex is the cliché-spoiled-chick mooching off her family's hard word, who resents her father for not letting her ruin her life.
Man, woe is her.
Hey, maybe it's because I love my weird, awesome Dad, that I couldn't relate or understand this novel. This book really unnerved me because Lex was such a spoiled little bitch, that when she actually realized her mistakes, it seemed too unreal. Too fake and forced.
I can't stand spoiled little kids, and to top it off, with the juvenile writing style, and Lex's annoying narrative, I'm surprised this novel isn't withering in its own ashes.

Simply casual and amazingly spot on, this book is just the required getaway from all the serious dystopia and fantasy I've reading lately.

This is a serviceable, decent book. It's definitely firmly in the "YA" camp, in that it was hard to for me to relate to as a twenty-something, which is not the case with all YA books. Lexi's situation will be hard for most to relate to, unless they have super rich and emotionally unavailable parents. But, hey, there may be some of you out there, and maybe you'll really get taken in on Lexi's journey to being a decent human being.
I liked the characters, the premise was fun (once you got past Lexi's screaming fits), it had a nice message and was written well. There just wasn't anything special or pizzaz-y about it. I won't remember it in the long run, but it filled about 4.5 hours of fun entertainment for the evening, like a mindless comedy movie or really generic chick-flick.

After seeing the book trailer to this novel I knew I had to read it. It sounded so promising!
Then I was just..meh. Disappointed somehow. It was a slow start. Lexi was a spoiled brat. But as soon as the first job started, I was hooked!
Lexi grew a lot throughout the book. And her father! You know Bart Bass from the TV show Gossip Girl? That's how I imagined him.
It was so much fun reading about Lexi's multiple encounters with all the different jobs.
I also really liked the writing style. After the first fifty pages or so it was pretty easy to get absorbed into the story.
I really loved this novel and I hope to read more from this author.
