This is one of those cases that considering the reviewer’s reading preferences and profile can be really important in submitting a work for their view. I thought the story sounded like a really good premise but it is a genre I very rarely read because my preferences are strongly elsewhere. Also humor is can be really individual, and reading about the idiosyncrasies inside an American woman’s head and her search for a perfect orgasm, among other things, have little interest for me.

If you like to laugh while reading about an author who is having problems in her own life while trying to decide if she wants to continue with her murder mystery series or write in a totally different genre, then this is the book for you. You will laugh and I think you will cry when you read about how she decides to write a romantic comedy instead of finishing her murder mystery series and what to do about a husband who is one we'd all like to kick out on the streets while trying to please/placa...more
This is one of the more entertaining books that I have come across. I loved reading this from beginning to end. The story was great and the way the author handled the transition from real life to fantasy was perfect. I laughed out loud in several places and just found the whole concept of writing about writing so intriguing that I just couldn’t put it down. (Why didn’t I think of this!!)

I spent my day reading My Novel Affair yesterday. I read until just after midnight, when I decided I really should get some sleep. I picked it up and finished it this morning. It was a quick, fun read and I was laughing out loud and sshhing myself for being too loud with people sleeping in the house. I loved the characters in this book and I will be looking for more from this author.
Let me start by issuing a warning. This book is screamingly funny. It should come with a disclaimer – 'Warning – This book may induce instantaneous bouts of out-loud mirth. Take care reading in public places!' I was reading this on the bus and I got some very funny looks, I can tell you!
The idea of a story within a story is refreshing one and works very well. The characters are larger than life and vibrant. The juxtaposition of the story (within the story) and the real life element was very skil...more

I guess enjoyed this book while reading it, but by the end, i was left feeling blah. The story-within-the-story is terrible. The character is unlikable and unbelievable. For both heroines though, the endings are just too perfect and don't ring true.
What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said? Amazing and full characterizations, with very quotable oneliners that will make you laugh out loud. A great layered story within a story premise - which could get confusing with another less experienced writer - but is very well done and keeps the reader guessing.
