  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;Smart, witty and a little bit bitchy, &lt;I&gt;Fishbowl&lt;/I&gt; lets you press your face against the glass, see into the lives of three unique roommates -- and laugh your head off.&lt;/B&gt;  &lt;P&gt;Allison can't wait for Jodine and Emma to move in to her apartment -- until she realizes having roommates means living in a fishbowl: You are never alone. When one small, slightly accidental fire leads to one &lt;I&gt;big&lt;/I&gt; repair bill, all efforts to avoid each other are finally abandoned: They've got to raise money . . . fast (&quot;Insurance? You mean you have to pay for that?&quot;). This means joining forces. Bonding? Well, at least they're talking to each other!  &lt;P&gt;Amazingly, they agree on a plan: shamelessly exploit their combined expertise on the male species for hard cash.&#160;Tactics: sell tickets to their swanky soir&#233;es and &lt;I&gt;How to Pick Up Women&lt;/I&gt; seminars . . . But their grand scheme sweeps away any last shreds of privacy with startling consequences. Now that they're forced to take a long, hard look at themselves, Allie, Jodine and Emma's lives -- and budding friendship -- are about to change, in ways they never imagined.</default-description>

What really hooked me into this book was that one of the characters totally *was* one of my college roomates. So creepy perfect it kept me reading ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8998928">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book wasn't great, mostly because none of the characters were likable. One is selfish and slutty, another neurotic and bitchy, and the third naieve and annoying. You end up rooting more against them than for them. It's mindless chick lit that would be fine for a day sitting by the pool... thoug...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44547018">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another chick lit book, this was from the perspective of 3 very different roommates all in their early 20s. Each chapter is written by a different roommmate so sometimes I was confused as to who was speaking but the storyline was good and I connected with Allie, one of the roommates.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book although I was a bit past the 20 year old stage (all characters are in the 20s). Fun. Cute. Predictable. A nice fluffy book as I needed a break from the more serious/heavy books I've been reading lately.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was my first novel from the Chick lit genre and it quickly became my favorite new kind of novel. Sarah Mlynowski is funny and a little bit bad. This is the inside scoop of the cool kids on Spring Break. Crazy!]]></body>
