I read this on Beth's recommendation and enjoyed her recommendation more than the book.
I stressed out on page 50 when the passport Lily "borrowed" from her sister was stolen. On page 69 I realized that this was not my kind of book when the main character said "The thing is, I liked Ted's mood swings. I liked not knowing which Ted I was going to get".
I didn't realize there are people out there who like living on that kind of an edge. I think that I would rather be thrown out of an airplane witho...more

I loved this book! I felt really bad for Lily and the breakup of her marriage. But I loved her attitude. She's hurt, but still able to throw punches and be sassy. She's got balls. She steals her sister's passport and escapes to London to avoid her ex-husband's music and tabloid pictures of him canoodling with an actress and a pending felony assault charge against her. Lily's staying with her one and only male friend Carter, who she dated when she was 18 and he was 20. Carter's a hot orthopedic s...more
This title makes no sense, but the book was super entertaining. Lame, old chick-lit that didn't take itself seriously at all but you didn't care either.
Girl is divorcing a simi-famous rock star and escapes to London to spend time with her best friend, Dude, of course. They dated years ago, but of course, that didn't work out (you can guess where it goes at the end). Girl is super out of control, like in the way that she lives her life and the things she says, but for like the first time ever, it...more

Not sure this fits the trashy but fun shelf, but I didn't want to create a new shelf titled- trashy and boring. Fleeing an ugly divorce from a rock star, the protagonist moves in with the one guy who has always loved her- in London. Not once did I care if she fell in love or fell in the garbage dump. She's not likable or someone I want to know. With her self-centered, immature, stupid behavior, I felt like slapping her and saying, "Grow up. Wait until something bad really happens to you!" But sh...more
At First Sight: Lily has always been the unreliable, flaky sister - particularly when compared to her older sister Lauren who is a successful wedding planner - so no one is surprised when she up and marries Ted Dayton, an up and coming musician, after only a few weeks of knowing him. And people are even less surprised when, a couple of years later, she finds herself in the middle of a nasty divorce.

I don't think I've met a chick-lit character that was as annoying as Lily. She is so self-absorbed and shallow, not to mention a bad pet owner! During the first 100 pages or so I wanted to just stop reading the book - and that says a lot because I hate to stop reading a book after I start. Luckily, the book did get better, however the title is still appropriate regarding my reading status of the book.
I truly enjoyed this chick lit novel. It made me laugh, and I felt it was smartly done. I really liked all of the characters. Whenever I had to set it down to do something I always looked forward to picking it back up to see what was going to happen next. I did read I Do (But I Don't) a number of years ago. I remember the story-line and the main characters, but I really don't remember Lauren's younger sister, Lily who is the main character in this book. Since I loved this book so much it makes m...more
The author made me chuckle a few times, literally LOL once, and made me mentally "awww...." a time or two. A good, light read to escape from motherhood for a couple hours out of the day, but the story was pretty slow. Would rather there been a greater focus on her final love interest instead of her ongoing hatred for her ex-husband that consumed 97% of the book.
I enjoyed some of the characters like Ian, Carter, and Arnold and I could have lost the first few pages of the book. Lily is so self centered it can get annoying, which is something I feared after the previous book. I am glad though that the author didn't change Lily's character from the previous novel just to make her a more appealing person.
Thanks Laura (my current patron to literacy)
I am getting such a kick out of this story. It's fun, witty, has a strong female character (in the big personality kind of way, but kinda weak when it comes to relationships/love). I stayed up really late reading, I was that into it. My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that in every chapter, at least so far, the character has to remind you she's a bad girl, or at least not good. We get it, move on =)

This book was adorable! I loved the characters and I laughed all the way through. I keep finding books with a lot of humor, and one that deals with cheating, marriage gone bad, divorce and can still keep me laughing is a good deal!
I will definitely be reading more of Lockwood's books!

Loved this book! A definate must read, it had me laughing at the lily's attitude
And the fact that she really is a bad person that you cant help but love
Carter and his low pain threshold was funny and frustrating but still loveable
I give it a 5.5

Read this for my Chick Lit book club. It's the sequel sorta to "I Do (But I Don't)" and I liked it better. It's an entertaining read and I found it to be more funny than the first book. And again, parts of it take place in London, which I always enjoy.
I REALLY enjoyed this book. The characters were easy to relate to, the story was interesting, and I loved the author's style. It got a bit silly toward the end but got better again. I would definitely recommend this one for other 20-somethings.
Simple, ridiculous, and easy to read! This is one of those perfect books to get you settled into cheesy beachside reading. I definitely recommend, and can't wait til I find the prequel to read more about crazy Laura and Nick!
If you are looking for an easy fun read this book is for you. Not to much thinking involved but a lot of fun times. I liked that it wasn't all about the past nor all about the present it mixed them together.
Funny book about a shallow self centered girl, who constantly throws temper tantrums. Lily is an annoying character, who gets away with unrealistic escapades. Situational humor rules in this book.
I could not put this book down! It was so good, the humor, the romance and the heartbreak keep it so interesting. I would recommend this book, its easy and very entertaining.
I loved this book. I didn't read the earlier book yet, but am looking forward to it after reading this book. I just needed something to make me feel romantic.
I laughed out loud a lot in this book. I loved how her chapters were titled. Enjoyed this one as much as Lockwood's first. Definitely recommend!
Didn't care for the sister/main character in this book. Liked her as supporting character in the first book better. Fun concept though!
A funny sequal to "I Do, But I Don't", this one is about her younger sister, and the drama that follows her.

I thought it was hilarious, even on a bad day this book could make you lol.
Awful, awful. Ludicrous plot, ridiculous characters, unlikable heroine, just bad bad bad.
It's a cute book. I enjoyed it. I laughed out loud at one part.
Just a fun, light book. Read it in under 24 hours.
This book is crazy and all over the place AND I LOVE IT.
Brain candy but entertaining enough on a slow day.
A cute, easy read. Made me smile, but would I read again? Possibly. xD

I grew up in Mesquite, Texas, which for those of you who like livestock shows, is the home of the Mesquite Rodeo. Ironically, Mesquite was named after Mesquite trees, only none of them now exist in the city, which is about fifteen minutes east of Dallas. No, I don't own a pair of cowboy boots, although I do own quite an impressive collection of black shoes. My Dad is a third-generation Japanese-Am...more
