Small Admissions by Amy Poeppel
2.0
Ho hum. I am delighted I finally got this ARC off my bookshelf...but also disappointed I carried it around for so long when the book was what it was....yay for chick lit! ....but this was....ouch.
This is the story of a woman who ditches her world and career goals to run off to Paris to be with her love....and then finds out at the airport he is not her true love, so she is sent in a tailspin....her nosy friends/sister get her to finally get a job and off the couch....she has a horrible interview, but of course still gets the job....and then quickly learns her new position and becomes (of course) amazing. Her friends all step up...her sister learns to let go....all is roses by the end of the book (because this is chick lit, duh).
Problems with book:
- my lord is the order of events/story SUPER confusing and clunky.
-Robert's French accent....is not authentic or cute...it is insulting. the author has it all over the place where he can/cannot pronounce certain sounds does not make sense. It was painful to read and just ugh.
-No one has an interview that bad and gets the job. Nope.
-There is NOTHING endearing about Vicki/Victoria and no reason she would be kept as a friend.
-Oy vey the sister. Nope.
-I get chick lit---but the characters need to be likeable.
-I still don't understand the point of half of the applicant's background stories. Seriously.
Ok...maybe I am a hateful person. But sigh. Not my cup of tea.
Read if you enjoy horribly written accents.
