Annie is a personal shopper in a very upscale store. Her boss dislikes her and her side job of selling clothes on eBay. Annie is ready to stop endless blind dates and need someone she can settle down with.
I enjoyed this lighthearted book about a mother, widow, and career woman. Annie is all those things and more. The characters Annie works with as a personal shopper are hilarious from the rich wife spending her clothing allowance or the ex-wife with the tired wardrobe. Annie was able to help them feel their best.
There are definitely laugh out loud scenes in this book. If you are a fan of Sophie Kinsella, this book is for you.

When I give a 2 star rating it’s usually a classic that I didn’t like but could see the literary value in it. This book is the opposite. While there are likeable parts to it, even for a chick lit novel, it’s pretty plotless and you can’t even tell who the main love interest is supposed to be until 2/3 of the way in. Not bad but would only recommend if you’re hardcore into chicklit.

Carmen Reid's writing is just so addictive. It reminds me in some ways of Sophie Kinsella's (which I really enjoy). What surprised me about this chick lit is that there was an element of surprise and a tear-jerking moment. It was well written, easy to read and enjoyable! Definitely one to recommend.

I loved how the protagonist Annie was independent and knew what she was doing. it wasn't cringing or cliche and barely had any embarrassing scenes which I loved and is one major thing I usually hate in chick lits. I didn't like her daughter much but I guess that is because she was portrayed as an actual teenager- and they're annoying. One thing I didn't like was the length of this book when we knew EXACTLY what was going to happen and who she was going to end up with. Plus, I don't understand why everyone in the reviews names her daughter Lana, but in the book, I read it was Lauren. It was a good book as a one-time read and a stand-alone but I'm not willing to read the next few parts of it.
