Well, I must say, these Downtown Press books really seem to get to me. They are much deeper and meatier than Red Dress Ink or other types of chick lit. There is still the element of lightness and fun, but also as if the characters live in a real world that has real problems beynd just what Jimmy Choos someone is wearing.

Interesting book...a little hard to follow at first, but I got over that pretty quick. There aren't many books that I can put down while reading. This was not one of them. The entire book was written as e-mails and IM messages. I've read a couple of other books written like this and surprisingly enough, they were all good.
No spoiler alerts...but the story was well thought out. It followed two women who are very good friends, but live in Boston and Orlando. They keep in touch thru IM'ing and e-ma...more

I was startled to open this book and realize that there was no narrative in it. To be honest, I was not sure that how this would work or how much I would enjoy reading it. I LOVED IT! I say it in all caps, because I was was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The book was very engaging, the characters quickly became real and I found myself identifying with their emotions, fears and thoughts. The book took only a matter of hours to read (helped by the fact that I couldn't put it dow...more

I read this eons ago and just thought of it again after reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. This book is told completely in e-mails and IMs. It's fabulous. Funny, smart and touching. I loved it.
It was ok. I'm not sure i like the way it was set up with emails and IM's only. Just different i guess.
Doing some spring cleaning and trying to read through a bunch of books on my shelf that I have somehow collected through the years. I am giving this 4 stars in the chick lit category, which I don't read much of. It contained a more serious storyline than the typical chick lit books. It is unique in that the entire story is told through email and instant messages. A story about reconnecting with the "one that got away", but also about friendship. It was a funny and entertaining quick read.

Loved the ending, great book.
At first I wasn't sure about the IM/email dialogue and lack of narration, but then was pleasantly surprised as the storyline unfolded. I found this book to be engaging, as it held my interest right up through the very last page. If only Rocki St. Claire would follow it up with another!
Loved it! I hope Rocki St. Clair writes more chick lit!
