I LOVED this book! I thought it had a great story line to it! I wish I would have known that there was a book before it, I am for sure going to read that next! I usually don't like these types of books(real life) but I couldn't put it down! This book showed me that it isn't just about looks and money. But that it is about the people you surround yourself with. Money cannot buy you happiness it might just get you into trouble. It also taught me that you don't need to be ready to fall into any guy

I'm really interested in reading contemporary Christian fiction written for women and girls because: 1) I think it's a potentially neat genre with a pretty large audience. 2) Most of what exists is pretty low-quality in my critical opinion (the characters lack depth, the plots are so predictable that you KNOW every book WILL end with the heroine accepting Christ or learning to trust God with her life, getting married to an upstanding young man, and having AT LEAST one baby). 3) I like to toy wit

If you like the chick lit style of writing but want a book with less "trashy" talk, this is a series for you! I myself am a Christian and reading this book still gave me the feel of reading a non-christian chick-lit novel without the nasty language and raunchy scenes. It is very light and breezy and the religious context is apparant yet very minimal as not to turn off any reader.

Three friends + relationship issues/family issues = MULTPIPLE TRIPS FOR PEDICURES/MANICURES. I loved this book.
The three best friends are thirty and single and trying to make it on their own. I appreciated Billerbeck's honesty w/her character choices. VERY MODERN DAY...

This is the 2nd book in a trilogy about 3 friends from Stanford that can't be more different. Poppy is a hippy chiropractor, Morgan is a wealthy socialite and Lilly is a struggling (up and coming) clothes designer.
This particular book focuses on Morgan and her life with bits of Lilly thrown in since the first book was about her. While these are supposed to be Christian books it is very light on the religious overtones which is nice. I don't mind some references but some get heav More...

Contemporary Christian fiction is not usually my genre of choice, but I enjoyed She's All That so much that I wanted to continue the series. While it is Christian fiction, it's not as overtly God centered and themed as other books I have read. I like that. I truly enjoyed the book, it was a fluffy read, but no so fluffy as to be unbelievable or to talk down to the reader. It was well written, though I did notice a few sports in my copy where the characters were called by the wrong name. I p

I'm currently reading this book very slowly, which is rare for me! Kristin writes with such humor and wit, I always enjoy her books.

This was the best book of the 3 part series. I enjoyed the plot and climax. It was an easy read. I am not a reader and I sat down and read it in one day. I really enjoyed it!

This book was a HUGE step up from the first one! Morgan is a much more complex & deep-emotional character than Lilly (IMO), & her story was interesting & much more sympathetic than Lilly's. After reading "She's All That," I didn't want to read the next one in the series. Now, after finishing this one (A Girl's Best Friend), I can't wait to start Poppy's story (& the continuation of Morgan's) with "Calm, Cool, & Adjusted." I'm praying it's just as good, if not better.

Okay, I didn't like this book in the beginning, but after a few chapters I started to enjoy it. Its more of a girly book than I normally read, but it was neat to see the friendship these 3 girls have. It has made me realize how much I miss having close girlfriends. I plan to read the rest of the Spa Girls collection. I also enjoyed that they are Christian books. Not sure if they are labeled as so, but they often relate to the Bible to life and what the girls are going through. A new twist

I liked this book more than I did the first one. I think that some of the things Morgan has gone through helped get her to view things from a different perspective. Can't wait to read the next book from Poppy's perspective.

Couldn't put this down...
Meet the spa girl's; Lilly, Polly and Morgan. College friends heading into their 30's. Lilly is our heroine in this fun and funny novel as she goes through dramatic life change - dumped by her boyfriend for another woman, fired from her dream job and 'stuck' with crazy curly hair. This book is fatastically fun to read as I could relate to her character. Can't wait to read the other books Kristin has written.

I enjoyed this story better than the first book in this series. However, as with most of Billerbeck's books, I have a hard time relating to any of the characters. I will read the last book in the series just because I have to (I'm weird that way!) but I'm not likely to read anything else by Billerbeck any time soon.

I liked this one over the other two story lines in the series. Its kind of a refreshing take on the 'stressed out' rich girl. The series is super funny and witty. Recommend for those looking for a fun//funny story. 3 stars for the fluffiness.

I like the Ashley Stockingdale series better from Kristin Billerbeck. But this was a decent read...a little unbelievable at times, but what Christian chick-lit novel isn't :)

A fun book. I like that God was included but not shoved in your face.
This is book 2 out of 3 (I think 3). I am gonna have to go back and read 1. ;)

This is the 2nd book in the "Spa Girls" series by Kristin Billerbeck. Just like the first book, this one was really good! Would definitely read it again...

I liked this one (#2 of 3 I think). Makes you understand the other side of the situations. You have to read all three to fully understand though.

This is the next book in line after she's all that. I love it. I'm almost done and can't wait to read the next one in line;)

This was tough to get through. I didn't enjoy it, and the ending wasn't even that great.

Refer to 1st book in the series for my review- it's the same kind of read.
