I actually got this book as an official review book and as such, it came with a couple of publicity letters courtesy of the publisher/editor/PR office. These missives focused mainly on how Ross' book was an attempt to describe how horrible, shallow and materialistic the dating scene is in L.A. especially in regards to women who're approaching or have crested the 40-year hill. Ross actually summarizes the overall issues very neatly by writing, "Men in their forties wanted girls in their tw More...

Blow me is a quick read that balances on the edge of fun/interesting and meh. Like many books, it had it’s highs and lows and having finished, I’m not really sure where I stand… The writing was great. It kept a nice light hearted tone while touching on many of the issues single woman face as they get older: infertility, loneliness and dating in a world that seems to be completely focused on age. And I loved how the setting, LA, was used to highlight the problems and show off each woman’s mistake More...

Lennie Ross is currently on tour with CLP Blog Tours and her novel Blow Me. This story follows three “friends” living in the very different world we call LA.

With a provocative and edgy title ‘Blow Me’ I just knew that I had to get me teeth into this stunning novel.

Blow Me focuses around Skylar, Dawn and Chloe, all single, close to forty and acting much younger. Each woman is despera More...

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Felt sort of...meh...about it.

Dawn, Skylar, and Chloe are around forty years old. I don't know if it's because of the way they acted or because I'm in my twenties, but I kept picturing them as much younger. There were multiple times throughout the novel that I had to remind myself that these women were not, in fact, twenty somethings, but instead, they were older women who hadn't found their right paths in life yet. I think this is the reason why I di More...

I liked the book. I thought the story lagged a little in the middle. I was happy how it ended.

As Lennie says, if you are a Sex and the City fan, you are going to devour this book. If you enjoy reading about women's friendships, how through difficult times they help one another, you are doing to definitely love this book.

Blow Me is the epitome of chick lit!

Can't wait for Lennie's next one!
