I really liked this story! This is the first Jane Moore novel I've read and I laughed myself silly through quite a bit of the book. Though Faye comes across as a very shallow and selfish female, I found it hard to not like her. Of course, you had to know what was going to happen once Tony showed up in France, so that wasn't a surprise, but I was surprised she gave in as quickly as she did. Of course, if she had called Tony's bluff, who is to say how the story would have turned out. I also liked ...more
I was going to give this book only two stars because it's an icky romance with slutty, two-timing behavior; but then I thought about it a little more, and realized that it deserved more than that because the characters grow into better people, who are both more aware of themselves and of others. So I gave it three instead. It's still an icky romance that ends in a neat little bow, but the sex bits were nearly non-existent/largely glossed over, which is always a plus, and as previously mentione...more

Though overall this book was a satisfying twisty-turny romance, I did not really like the author's writing style. I know it's not her fault, but there were a lot of distracting typos and too often quotation marks were backwards or in the wrong place, blaringly wrong. Similarly, there is very little action in the book; it's a story told mostly through dialogue and flashbacks, and for me, I just wanted to *see* something, rather than have it told to me by every supporting character under the sun...more
This book took me FOREVER to read! I just couldn't get engrossed in it. But at the same time, I wanted to finish it. The plot and characters were interesting enough that they made me want to find out what happens. I suppose the problem was that the text was a bit dry. It flopped around between perspectives and jumped a bit in time. Instead of making me more interested in everyone, it made me disconnect from everyone. I knew just enough to slightly care about them, but not enough to really...more
"there are no ugly women, only lazy ones!
that was step 1.
step 2: pretend you're endlessly fascinated by him.
step 3: don't talk about yourself too much and maintain an air of mistery.
step 4, when the relationship has developed a little: give a great blow-job."

Not bad for Chick Lit, I actually enjoyed this one. The characters, and there are more than just the main 2, are very shallow and venial in the beginning but somewhat redeem themselves by the end.
This was a cute book about getting married to the right vs. the wrong person. Predictable but cute.
hm.. ceritanya udah lumayan ketebak sih,sapa bakal jadi ma sapa.. it's still fun though^^
Decent story...kinda predictable. Worth reading..
If I could do half stars this book would have 3.5. It was a good book. It was a quick read and I liked the writing style but it was very very predictible. From the first chapter I could pretty much guess the ending. I guess that is what I get for reading so many chick lit books.
That being said Faye is probably a character that many could relate to. A women who is in love with the wedding part of a marriage. In the end it worked out for all the characters and that makes me happy.

Predictable from start to finish.
I'm now speeding through a fun bit of fluff (published by Random House, in case anyone was wondering), by the same author (Jane Moore) who wrote Fourplay, which I read for the first time in London while studying abroad. Loved Fourplay, and am now loving The Ex Files.
Jane moore was a little bit sarcastic but I like it. And the most important thing that I drew from this novel was, how truthfull they are. I, too, sense the same panic and euphoria when got married
I'm pretty sure i read this book before fourplay. that's why i picked it up, she's cute author.
I haven't finished yet. But the idea is extremely lunatic! I was thinking to do it also, hahaha
I love this author. She is good for quick, romance reads whenever the mood strikes you.
Quick read. I liked the story line. Would be a fun summer read.
This book was good. Very funny and full of craziness.
standard chicklit book. easily forgotten.
Favorite Jane Moore book that I've read thus far!
i'm thinkin of inviting them, all in one place, at the same time.
i thought it would be a good idea.
