Kat Fight

Mar 01, 2013 Ian rated it 3 of 5 stars Recommends it for: women in their early to mid 20s

Suggested Improvements to Kat Fight

1. Change location from Advertising Agency to Nuclear Submarine

2. Change Heroine from Office Worker to Russian Spy in tight jumpsuit

3. Change Hero from Copyrighter to Werewolf

This book is really aimed at women from their early to mid 20s...not a 40+ man. I think there are some good things in this book but the characters were a universe away from me and I just couldn't bridge that generational gap

4 KATTASTIC STARS

Kat Fight is the perfect light hearted romance. It’s a combination of light angst with witty humor that makes you smile for days. Dina Silvers books are some of my favorites because she has a way of creating something that’s cute and funny but at the same time heartfelt. I loved it. Kat is HILARIOUS. I swear reading this was like sitting at home watching a Kate Hudson chick flick and just enjoying the ride. It’s a great book to read if you’re feeling down, perfect for a trip to the beach or after an extremely emotional or angsty book. It’s a good romance that will have your heart fluttering and a goofy grin plastered all over your face.

What’s the book about???

Kat is having a hard time with her longtime love Marc. They have been together for 4 years but Marc doesn't appreciate Kat at all. He stands her up, never takes her calls and just acts like he has no time for her and the relationship At her wits end she makes an impulsive move and breaks things off with Marc to teach him a lesson. She wants him to realize what he has in her. The problem is that Marc calls her bluff and gives her the space she asked for. Kat is heart broken but determined to move on, so her friend Julie decides to set her up on a blind date. The blind date doesn't go as planned but one good thing comes out of it and that is deliciously sweet Ryan. BUT Ryan aka the Chef is there with Kat’s friend Julie **cue the sizzling plot twist**. Things turn interesting when a couple weeks later Ryan is no longer seeing Julie and asks Kat out on a date and Kat accepts.

Can Kat move on from Marc and start new? Will her friend Julie FREAK out that she’s dating someone that Julie dated? Will Marc come waltzing back with his tail tucked between his legs? Will Kat take him back?

These are all the little juicy things you’ll find out while reading Kat Fight. It really is an amazing blend of drama, humor and romance. This is a pick me up book. A happy book. It's the kind of book you read when you want to escape to your happy place!

Overall I would absolutely recommend this and Dina Silvers other book One Pink Line. She has a way with words that leave you feeling good and hopeful. This is a great choice if you are looking for a fast, laugh out loud read.(less)

I'm so thrilled to present Kat Fight. This book is really close to my heart (that's my heart on the cover), because it's loosely based on how I met my husband, and has taken me close to three years to get it right. My goal with Kat Fight was pure romantic-comedy fun! I hope everyone finds it as entertaining and enjoyable as...well, as my husband does :) And yes, any book I've read in excess of 25 times gets an automatic 5-stars from me.

I have a hard time with chick-lit a lot of times. The issues the characters face seem shallow and arbitrary. However, just like with One Pink Line, Ms. Silver fills Kat Fight with strong characters that make up for the less than stellar plot line. I really did enjoy this book, and I read it in less than a day. There were parts that I was literally laughing out loud, and I liked that both of the love interests were viable options for Kat.

After all the time they've spent together, Kat's thinking about marriage. Marc's... obviously not. So, Kat decides to show him he should appreciate what he has. She thinks they should either go back to how things were at the beginning, or break up. After another no-show, and a not-so-pleasant phone conversation, she breaks up with him. That should teach him,right? But, Marc seems just fine with that. Now what?

Move on? Enter Julie, Kat's friend, who sets her up on a blind date. Double date, actually. Let's just say that didn't go so well. But, a couple of weeks later, Julie's date Ryan asks Kat out. He's not seeing Julie anymore (though, she doesn't seem to agree with that), and now that he's working with Kat maybe they could just... explore things a bit. You know? Anyway, Ryan's a great guy, Marc's not calling, so why not? Everything should work out just fine... or not so fine. But, we all sure do need a bit of angst in our lives.

So, what's gonna happen there? Will Kat manage to just move on after four years? Will Marc break the radio silence? Will Kat forgive, forget and take him back? What's Julie gonna say when she finds out about Kat and Ryan? Questions, questions... You'll have to read Kat Fight and see for yourself!

And, you really should read it. It's a perfect chick lit. Witty, cute, with many embarrassing moments that are so funny when they're not happening to you (okay, mostly even then), a bit of angst, and twists and turns that will make your head spin.
Kat's hilarious! I loved her, though the girl does tend to get confused and all over the place. Not that I blame her. At all. Ryan's the guy I'd gladly date - even if he couldn't cook. And, you'll adore Adam - he's the best gay BFF coworker ever. Not to mention he's the guy every girl needs in her life. Both as a constant source of entertainment, and a shoulder to lean on.

Overall, I enjoyed reading Kat Fight, and highly recommend it, if you're looking for a light romance/comedy. The characters are great (and real), it will most definitely lift your mood, and make you chuckle (and even laugh out loud) often while reading it. You probably shouldn't start late at night, as I'm not sure you'll be able to put it down in the middle of the story. But, other than that, you can't not like it. Oh, and the fact it's (even loosely) based on real life makes it even sweeter in my humble opinion.

I was actually quite fond of this story :) I love the fact that the events and things that happened in this book were so RELATABLE! I love nothing more than a story where you can be like, “OMGosh! This could actually happen to someone!” It makes reading it that much more special! I know we all love getting lost in imagination-land, but sometimes – it’s refreshing to know that the stories you are reading may have actually happened or COULD happen to someone!

Kat is like most girls, a romantic. She knows what she sees her life as in the romance department & that’s the direction she believes she is headed in. Until she has to give Marc a choice – it’s either me or whatever else there is that seems to be holding your attention more than me. What she didn’t count on was Marc being THAT GUY – who chose the whatever else, instead of her. So naturally, it’s time to move on. Who better than to help you move on than your best friend? So then we meet Julie, who is hell bent on getting Kat over Marc and decides to set her up on a blind date. Except, true to Kat form – things don’t exactly go her way – especially when she starts to find herself eyeing the one person who is very much off-limits!

What does one do when they find themselves falling for the very person their best friend likes? That very best friend who is trying to help you get over one of the hardest times in a girls life? GIRL PROBLEMS! We have all been there && I found it so easy to relate to the feelings being thrown around in this situation. She knows what she wants and she wants to go after it, but not at the cost of hurting her friend. Can she have her happily ever after AND keep her best friend? Again, GIRL PROBLEMS!

This book was lovely! It was charming, realistic and often completely humorous! Seriously, I don’t think I could be any more in love with this book! I even read parts of it to my 6 year old because she kept asking me what was so funny! I would recommend this to anyone who has ANY KIND of romantic bone in their body! Dina Silver wrote such an amazing story! It’s so easy to relate to and you cannot help but connect with the characters.(less)

After reading and loving Silver's first book, One Pink Line (review found HERE,) I had high hopes for Kat Fight. Let me tell you that Silver did NOT disappoint! As soon as I started reading Silver's Kat Fight I was sucked into the story and quickly found myself escaping reality.

Kat Fight is about Kat, a young adult that hates to be referred to as 'cute.' For years she has looked forward to her happily ever after with her college boyfriend, Marc. However, when it starts to look like marriage is only something she is excited for, she gives Marc an ultimatum, which he doesn't take. Kat realizes that she has wasted years of her life and gloomily enters the single dating pool. Unexpectedly, Kat meets Ryan, a new co-worker. As things begin to heat up between Kat and Ryan, Marc has a sudden change of heart. Kat then has to make the decision to permanently toss in the towel on her relationship of years and to take a chance with a new love, or to give Marc another chance.

I quickly fell in love with all of the characters in Kat Fight. What I most enjoyed was Kat's relationship with Adam, her gay best friend. I believe that every scene they were in together had me in stitches due to Adam's sharp and witty tongue. The back and forth dialogue between the two was laugh out loud funny. I especially enjoyed reading the text messages between the bff's, it reminded me of how my best friend and I interact with each other.

Another relationship that I enjoyed reading about was Kat's and her sister, Megan. Sadly, they each have what the other wants. All Kat has ever wanted was to be married with a family. Meanwhile, stay at home mom Megan is married with a baby and thought she was happy until the exhaustion and frustration kicked in. As Megan observes the freedom Kat has being single and on the prowl, she finds herself more unhappy with her life. Megan is also upset that she is asleep in bed by 9 each night with baby throw up on her sweatshirt while her husband maintains his pre-baby lifestyle. I found the whole Kat/Megan relationship to be very realistic!

Dina Silver's Kat Fight is a great novel that I wholeheartedly recommend to chick lit and romance lovers. Dina Silver's writing style and humor reminds me of an earlier Jennifer Weiner. I hope that Silver will be around as a writer for many years to come and I look forward to reading more from her!

Dina Silver has provided me with a complimentary copy of her book, Kat Fight, for the purpose of review.

Kat Porter is the consummate romantic, she believes in marriage and is looking for Mr. Right/Prince Charming who will sweep her off her feet and give her the happily ever after ending she's dreamed of. She has been in a relationship with Marc Nolan, her college sweetheart for four years. Unfortunately, Marc has become neglectful and has been blowing Kat off one too many times that she finally gives him an ultimatum: lose her number, and he does just that! Kat has to once again start her search for Mr. Right.

Kat's BFF Julie sets her up on a blind double date, but there's a problem: Kat is attracted to Julie's love interest, Ryan Sullivan. Ryan is everything Kat wants in a husband, so they pursue their interest in each other, only to have complications arise when Marc comes back in the picture and wants another chance, and Julie finds out about their relationship. Can Kat hurt her lifelong BFF? Will Kat give Marc a second chance? Will Ryan become Kat's Mr. Right, and will there be a happily ever after ending for them?

Kat Fight is one heck of an entertaining and humorous story about friendships, relationships and the tricky pursuit of finding love. Author Dina Silver once again weaves a witty tale that is simply a laugh-out-loud fun read! Based loosely on the author's own meeting and relationship with her husband, this engaging tale quickly draws the reader into Kat's crazy life, while providing an insightful look into the quirky dynamics of friendships, love triangles, relationships, and meddling office co-workers.

The author has created a cast of characters who are just plain fun to get to know. They are realistic, down-to-earth, normal but quirky people with flaws and issues, who are easily relatable to the reader. Kat is a hot mess, but I couldn't help but cheer her on in her pursuit of finding love. Ryan is every woman's dream man, and I'd take him any day over a neglectful man like Marc. I'd be remiss if I didn't comment on my favorite character, Adam, Kat's co-worker, his cattiness and the banter between them was hilarious, I want to find a friend like Adam!

Kat Fight is a fast paced entertaining book that will tickle your funny bone. Author Dina Silver has a knack for weaving tales with a quirky sense of humor that leaves the reader wanting more! This is one book that you must put on your TBR list, you won't be disappointed!

Well… I think I need a scorecard to keep up with this one. I am going to start the only way I know how… I am not from Chicago or Illinois, but I grew up a Chicago Cubs fan. You don’t have to get on my case about that, I am fully aware of their track record with the World Series and all. So nothing you can say about my beloved Cubs is going to change how I feel about them. Now that my feelings for the Cubs are out there, I can move on to the rest of the book, which really only has one small thing to do with the Cubs but I just didn’t want to overlook it.
This book was so full of angst and drama and love that I didn’t want to put it down. I liked Kat, then I didn’t…then I ended up appreciating her character so much. I can’t say as much about the guys in the book, except Adam. He is the perfect best friend and he’s a smartass, which I personally adore. Here’s the thing with Marc… I would have adored him that much more if he would have just given a reasonable explanation for his actions. I could have come to terms with him a lot more… but I wasn’t completely satisfied with his responses and I thought he should have done a lot more for the woman that he loved. Now, about Ryan… I loved this guy but I could see issues flowing from the very first meeting on that double date. Nope, I am not ruining anything with this one except to say I loved Ryan from day one. He was the only character that I truly appreciated 100-percent through the entire book. Julie was a best friend, but it took her way too long to get over what happened.
This book left my head spinning. I was ready to keep reading and reading and I found myself at the very end three years later. The drama and angst in this book kept it going and it was fabulous. I loved how the characters connected and how much Dina Silver put into each character in the book. I never knew who to expect to see in the coffee shop or restaurant or even airport. I was very impressed with how easily it flowed and never felt lost or confused as to what was going on. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I desperately wanted it to go on and on and on.
I would highly recommend this book if you love angst and true love… it is perfect for both!

I absolutely loved Dina’s debut, One Pink Line, and have been eagerly awaiting her sophomore novel. I was not disappointed in the slightest with Kat Fight. Dina once again brings her powerful writing skills, likeable and relatable characters, and a tender story-line that makes this novel land on my Favorites List.

The story opens with Kat fighting once again with her long-term boyfriend, Marc. She hasn’t been feeling the love lately in their relationship, and when she offers Marc an ultimatum, she is met only with silence. For weeks. Now single for the first time in years, Kat is forced to head back to the drawing board so she can find her happy ending. She firmly believes in love, marriage, the whole works...but now who will be her Prince Charming? When her best friend Julie sets up Kat on a blind date, it happens to work – just not with who Julie set up Kat with. Instead, Kat starts to wonder if she is falling for Julie’s date, Ryan. As the story continues, Kat hides her blossoming friendship with Ryan from Julie, which ends up backfiring on her. Marc also comes back in the picture ready to give Kat everything she asked for – but is that what she really wants? With two men, a pissed off BFF, a catty co-worker trying to give her advice and a bi-polar boss making Kat jump through hoops, this story has it all, and makes for an excellent chick lit read.

I felt like I was immediately friends with Kat, and the supporting cast was truly outstanding. Adam, the co-worker, was to die for, and even Brooke kept up her storyline very well. The idea behind the plot was also intriguing, in part because who falls for the friend’s date on their own blind date, but also because Silver has said that it is loosely based on how she met her husband. I loved the ten facts after the book that were included, a fab touch! Kat Fight was engaging and read on a personal level, one for your must-read list and a 5 star novel from Dina Silver.

With some contemporaries, you can sort of predict what will eventually happen, but with Kat Fight, Ms Silver kept you guessing. Her style of writing was so fun to read that I was kept intrigued and laughing until the end (and cried in a certain part). I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to pick up another of Ms Silver’s books.

Kat Porter is a typical 26 year-old woman, working and in a long-term relationship. She met Marc, her boyfriend, at College and has their future all planned. But it seems that Marc isn’t on the same page and is distancing himself from Kat. Kat gives Marc an ultimatum, but he doesn’t fall for it. After being in a relationship for four years, Kat is devastated and doesn’t know what to do now she’s all alone. Relying on her best friend, Julie, Kat is set up on a blind double date with Julie and her current beau.

Let’s just say this double date didn’t really go to plan either and after a very hasty exit, Kat is down in the dumps again. Continuing to work and carry on, Kat see’s Julie’s beau, Ryan at her place of work. Curious she asks what he’s doing and Ryan took a job with her firm. Ryan was extremely nice at their double date and ever so handsome that Kat’s breath is taken away.

After a while, Ryan and Kat become closer and closer and Kat doesn’t have the heart to tell Julie. Ryan is adamant that he and Julie are no longer an item, but Kat is scared that Julie will hate her forever.

Now Marc, Kat sees him at a wedding for a mutual friend and is nervous. This happens before her first official date with Ryan. Marc and Kat have a very polite conversation and Kat is relieved. Later that night, lying in bed and thinking of Ryan, Kat gets a phone call from Marc and he’s downstairs wanting to talk.

Now Kat is totally confused, Marc wants her back, but she has feelings for Ryan. She told Marc about Ryan and now he’s upset too. Everything is a total mess and Kat doesn’t know what to do. Not being able to go to Julie, Kat goes to her other best friend, Adam; a work colleague that quickly became her best friend.

Who will Kat choose, her old love Marc, whom she always thought she would marry OR the new beau, Ryan, exciting and handsome and extremely lovable? Will Kat tell Julie that she is with Ryan? How will Julie take the news? Secrets and lies never end well!

Follow along with Kat and her extraordinarily funny and entertaining life, where she has to become a big girl and make big girl decisions. See her grow and try to decide which man is right for her and take responsibility for her actions. Julie may not be the best person, but she is Kat’s friend and I couldn’t really take to her much, but loved Adam, he was hilarious. This was such a fun read and once you got stuck in the middle of Kat’s life, you can’t stop reading.

I had previously read and loved Dina Silver's debut novel One Pink Line so I was excited to dive into Kat Fight. As much as I enjoyed OPL I enjoyed Kat Fight even more. I loved the main character, Kat's, turmoil over giving her long-term boyfriend an ultimatum and the shock she felt when he actually called her bluff on it. Add to the mix developing feelings for one of her best friend's love interest and secondary characters who are charming and funny as well as hold their own with their own stor...more

Kat is a 26-year-old woman who has just given her boyfriend, Marc Nolan, of four years the boot. She basically tells him if he can't get his act together then he should lose her number and he does just that. In the midst of it all, she is set up on a date by her best friend, Julie, with a guy named Pete. Not only does the date end horrifically, but Kat finds out that she has the hots for Ryan, Julie's love interest; just when she thinks that things couldn't get anymore hectic, they become very h...more

Kat has always wanted to be married and have her one family, especially since her parents got divorced when she was young. She has been with Marc since college and even though they fight she and her friends/family have assumed they are meant to be together and it is just a matter or time before they get married. Marc has been having less and less time fore Kat lately though and Kat id starting to lose patients. After, being blown off again in a moment Kat tells Marc to lose her number.

She has been with Marc since college and even though they fight she and her friends/family have assumed they are meant to be together and it is just a matter or time before they get married. Marc has been having less and less time fore Kat lately though and Kat id starting to lose patients. After, being blown off again in a moment Kat tells Marc to lose her number. Not hearing from him for two weeks she accepts that it really has ended this time and she starts to move on.
Her best friend, Julie, sets her up on a bind double date with her and Kat finds herself more intrigued by Julie's date, Ryan, then her own. When Ryan shows up at Kat's work and seems to have an interest in her things get complicated. Add to that Marc showing back up realizing that he might have made a mistake. Kat has some light trending and tough decisions to make or she could end up losing more than she realized when she started playing with hearts and friendships.

I really enjoyed this plot. I felt like I could really relate to Kat as a character, she was well rounded and grew through out the novel. The supporting cast where there and developed enough that I could get behind them, but I wasn't distracted by their stories. I think the story that Kat is living and lessons she is learning are relate able and are ones you can say been there done that, know someone who did, or yeah that could have happened to me.

There was a preview of Silver's debut novel One Pink Line at the back of this book and in reading that I know I need to go pick that one up. I like the voices that Silver created for her characters and they are relatable. I look forward to reading more of her work.

I give this book a strong 4 stars. It could be seen as strong in the chick lit genre but has relate able characters and make for a fun light read, even when it is deal with deeper issues.

This review is part of chick lit plus blog tours.

I was provided a copy of the book for review, but the summary and thoughts on the book are mine.(less)

Kat! Kat! Kat! Oh boy… this is a great and fabulously hilarious book. I mean really, the plot just had so much going for it. Poor Kat is always struggling with some kind of drama in her life, and it’s horrible to say, but I just had to laugh! AND enjoy the fact that her drama is not in my life. Which made this book even more enjoyable.

The choices Kat makes are entirely believable. She wants the best for her friends and for herself, but these choices get her into a bunch of trouble. It’s the trou...more
