A review by alexalovesbooks
Girls' Night In by Lauren Henderson
3.0
(Review was originally posted on Alexa Loves Books)
The reason I picked up this book was because two of my favorite authors wrote short stories for it - Meg Cabot and Sophie Kinsella. Plus, I love a good short story and the book promised to contain a bunch of stories geared towards a female audience for the most part.
The book called out multiple reactions from me - some stories I loved, some stories I liked and some I didn't end up caring about at all.
I, of course, have my favorites:
1. Party Planner by Meg Cabot - I thought this was a cute read, and a lovely short by Meg. The characters were lovable and I liked how it was told through emails. I think I love everything Meg writes.
2. Changing People by Sophie Kinsella - I think I love everything she writes. Seriously. So yeah, this one was a good one too.
3. Revenge by Emily Barr - This was highly amusing! I found myself laughing at the extremes the character went to. It's just a fun read.
4. The Truth is Out There by Marian Keyes - Okay, now this was a lovely, unique story tossed in amongst everything else. I thought it was really cute!
All the other stories were okay reads, nothing that really stood out for me. I do like the fact that all these authors came together for the compilation. It's a good mix of chick lit stories, but not something I feel the need to own necessarily. If you can borrow it from your library, and you love chick lit, you should go ahead and do it!
