Girls' Night In by Lauren Henderson
3.0
I am not a huge fan of short story collections but I decided to pick up `GIRLS NIGHT IN' because some of the stories were penned by some of my favorite authors in the chick-lit genre and some by authors that I have never read but wanted to. Unfortunately, I cannot say that I was impressed by this collection, out of the twenty-one stories I can honestly only say that I liked seven, the rest were either mediocre, left something to be desired, or were just bad. However, on a positive note, out of the seven stories that I did like five of the authors were ones whose books I've never read. Therefore, I did accomplish the goal of discovering new authors to put into my rotation.
My seven favorites, in no particular order, were:
`THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE' by Marian Keys
`ACTING STRANGELY' by Chris Manby
`KNOW IT ALL' by Sarah Mylnowski
`CAT LADY' by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
`DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM' by Adele Lang
`PARTY PLANNER' by Meg Cabbot
`TRAVELING LIGHT' by Carole Matthews
So while I cannot say that I particularly enjoyed this book in its entirety, I do have the pleasure of walking away excited to read more from the seven aforementioned authors.
