At first, I thought this book was terrible. I almost wanted to quit reading it, but Zoey Dean is my favorite author so I just had to finish it. Believe it or not, this book started getting so much better and lets just put it this way: The ending was magical! Pick up a copy, it's so worth your time!

This was a fun read and better than I had expected. It was a great change of pace for me and gave my brain a break from my typical selections which often lead to having to look up every other word. I enjoy challenging reading, but once in a while fun is nice. I can absolutely see this as a movie! I'm glad I didn't just give it away before reading it.
Decent book. I had a hard time picturing the characters correctly because I kept picturing how they were on the tv show, which is not at all how they are described in the book. The book was better than the show though and it didn't get as far into the totally implausible plot lines that the show did.

The more I read chick lit, the more I realize how much I don't care for it. Sometimes it seems as though all the plots are the same, and all the narrators the same person. Of course, all that isn't the fault of this book. To be fair, it's a reasonably nice example of the genre. The characters are (for the most part) better fleshed out than your typical chick lit. The story line is fluffy, but it is at least somewhat believable. I liked the main character, and I appreciated that she seemed to grow during the course of the novel. The plot does read a bit like it came from a list of chick lit cliches (the "serious" journalist forced to work for a fluffy magazine for cash and experience... sound familiar?) It wasn't great literature, and there were some parts where I said "Oh come on" out loud, but it did have a sweet (if somewhat unbelievable) ending. Recommended to anyone looking for an easy read.
This is actually a really amazing book. They turned into a tv show a few years ago -privileged, which was pretty decent. But this book was so much more than that show was. It seemed realistic to the situation. I think I am due for a good re-read actually.
