phoenix527 's review for:
The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing
by Melissa Bank
Many reviews said that it was not a chick lit book. At first, I agreed with the reviews, but upon completion I think it was definitely a chick lit book. Aside from 2 chapters, this book was solely about Jane's romantic trials. Her quest to find herself through finding a mate. It was not as soapy or frilly as other chick lit books, but it definitely didn't have much else to the book aside from her quest to find a man suitable for her. What I didn't like was that this book had so much potential to explore how Jane came in to finding herself. We know that Jane may not know who she is as a person, but she did find her mate. I guess I was disappointed that she never figures out what she wants to do. She knows she likes to read but didn't want to do that for her job anymore. And now she is just in advertising because she fell in to it, but who knows what she will really do with the rest of her life. She seemed aimless aside from finally finding her man. It was disappointing. I also didn't like the random chapter with the people who live downstairs. I got sucked in to their story and never hear anything ever about them again. I am so interested in their lives now. What I did like...I love the style of this book. It was very interesting to have these different vignettes in to Jane's life. I also liked the characters. I got sucked in to this book the minute I started reading it. I would recommend it to people, but would let them know it is definitely chick lit.
