I gave up on this book because I HATED the main character and got tired of her insulting pretty much everybody, including overweight people. (Not other characters in the book, mind you; these were general rules to be applied to all of humankind.) Maybe she redeemed herself later in the book, but I wasn't willing to stick it out long enough to find out. Which is a shame, because despite the odiousness of the character, Ford's writing was very, very funny. I'd be willing to try another book writte...more
This book was somewhat strange. First of all, I didn't realize that it was British chick lit until I started to read it. I have a hard time getting the British lingo as it is but sometimes I felt as if I was reading a different language because I had no idea what the characters were talking about. I didn't like the main character, I thought she was mean and pissy for most of the book. I did like Sam however but I wish that they had gotten together sooner than the last page of the damn book.
I feel that the chain smoking, slutty, fag hag, Londoner has been a bit over done in these pseudo-chick-lit stories. That being said, I found the characters endearing nonetheless. The story was ok. You could plainly see what would happen, and who would end up with who. But the one liners were hilarious and I am ever engrossed with the Brit-speak. Story flagged a bit between 30% and 60%.
This book left me totally confused..I don't know if I liked the story or if I hated..It was chaotic and a little bit confusing with a little of everything else..
In my opinion, it was poor writing, way too long to get to the point, poor ending. I only finished it to find out how it ended.
Dumb but entertaining. Normally I don't mind bodily function talk, but this was a little over the top.
I learned so much from this book- English slang that is... :)
Cute book to pass the time. Easy read
Good Brit Chick Lit. Characters were fun and over the top but very enjoyable.
Not a fan. I agree with Amy below that I did not like the main charachter. Very self involved and whiny!
This pretty much has everything you could ever want in a chick lit book - lots of sex (but not graphic), lots of food, lots of drama. I just wish George wasn't such a stereotypical queen or that Katie would stand up to Janice once in a while. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the slang, being an Anglophile. Not a bad beach read.
Ok..total English setting which was different..the sex talk and graphic detail got to me a few times...but otherwise it made me laugh out loud a few times and that is always a plus for me..Definitely not what I was expecting when I picked up this book
There were some funny moments and some cute moments, but nothing special or memorable.
I know there are moments when I just want to read a cheesy contemporary, no brainer chick-lit novel and "My Fake Wedding" is exactly that.

I could not get into this book at all. I tried to read a little towards the end to see if it was going to be worth trying to get through and decided not. I usually enjoy these types of books but this one...no thank you :-(
I felt this book was hard to read. I was having a hard time with the British slang and pronunciation. I couldn't get into the story or involved in the characters because of that. Not one of my favorites.
I hated the main character she was so mean. I don't care if she changes I couldn't stand her. It's hard to enjoy a book if the main character makes you so mad.
It's not sugary romantic because of the much slang in the book. But it all came naturally and the peppery moments make you laugh your ass off.

A fun, shallow book that did a good job of keeping my mind off my homework. Included great menu ideas for fancy parties. :)
Ultimately enjoyable but without much to recommend it. An overuse of slang and bad words for not much purpose.
Total summer smut read!! Highly entertaining. It is about a funny, slutty English girl.
yea, more single girl stuff--it was pretty funny
Pretty cute story. A very quick read.
Good read
