British Chick Lit-Great book, a little different for Sue Margolis. Still funny but not as gratuitous as usual. Proves that she can practice different styles of writing.
Ruby Silverman's boutique caters to London mothers who treat their tots like the latest fashion accessories. And the type of celebrities whose pregnancy bumps miraculously disappear the minute they're holding their new bundles of joy. But when she accidentally catches a pregnant star sporting a prosthetic belly, she suspects somet...more

Ruby Silverman grew up as an only child, and her parents were both artists. Later in life, Ruby wants to become a business owner, and so with the help of a family member, she opens a baby store called "Les Sprogs". Business is great for her, and she even has a few celebrities as customers. At a doctor's appointment, Ruby meets a new man, and then runs into him multiple more times. They begin a new relationship, and he works at the nearby hospital. Yet, things seem to become a little fishy when h...more
I am putting these books together (Original Cyn) because they from the same author and I accidentally read them back to back. And thinking back about them, they are really the same book, just slightly different backdrops. But all the characters are the exact same and the exact same thing happens and the outcome happens in the same way. Not that I didn’t enjoy it, but looking back, I love connecting books, but this was a bit much.

Terrible. This book was awful. The premise is an interesting one, but the execution is just plain bad. The characters are stupid (not 'Ugh, that character is one I don't like and it doesn't even make sense for this plot' stupid, but actually intellectually dead). For a business woman who has tapped a much-needed niche of her world, you would think she wouldn't be a complete dolt. But she is. She keeps landing herself in the same situations over and over by jumping to conclusions, not listening,...more
Want my honest opinion??? (I rather read another type of book)
....I wanted to read this book because a wonderful friend sent it to me ----(I adore my friend)!!!!
This is just not the type of book for me ---(not really).
Things I DID enjoy about this book:
1) LOVE the Cover and the title of the Book (adorable). I hope I can still appreciate 'cute'.
2) I enjoyed The British/English writing (yet, we are not speaking great literature) --fun 'slang'
3)The Characters were likeable

A really great book. Ruby runs a baby boutique in the U.K. that is known amongst the circles of the rich and famous. She is used to celebrity clientele but after an encounter with a particular celebrity her life is thrown upside down. She unearths some serious wrong- doing that may or may not involve the newly found man of her dreams. On top of this her fifty something year old mother has just announced she is expecting a child.

This book was an easy read and fun. It is very shocking to find out that you will be having a baby sister or brother at age 32, even more when your mom becomes pregnant at age 50! Well Ruby goes through alot of doubts with her GYN-boyfriend,Sam when she finds out a major scandal about St.Lukes hospital the prestigious maternity childbirth for celebrities has been doing shady business. At the end it all clears that Sam was not involved and life seems to be looking for Ruby.
Light summer fun, 1st book I've read by this author. I did like how all the loose ends were tied up by the end of the book but thought the plot was a bit see-through (a woman who's mother raised her boho is running a maternity shop and falls in love;her boho mama at 50 becomes pregnant. There's a bit more than just this going on but let's not give away all of it, hmmm?
This book was very difficult to read. There were too many side stories and side stories from the original side stories, which made the plot unfold very very slowly. I read about 50 pages and became fed up with the book and stopped reading. I was disappointed because I really enjoyed a couple other of Margolis' books, but this one was just too confusing and slow for me.
While keeping with standard chick-lit blueprint, Gucci Gucci Coo had an original plot line. It was a fast read....although, I found the epilogue to be a little bit lengthy. Other than that - I am excited to read more Sue Margolis books!!
The beginning was a bit slow, but once it started to pick up, it was an entertaining read between Ruby dating a gynecologist, her 50 year old mother being pregnant and everything else in between that happened. I thought the whole scandal was extremely creative and definitely surprising. The ending was a nice touch to the book because it wrapped everything up so there were no unanswered questions.
This book was better than her others. Somewhat of a mystery type thing in it, so it kept me way more interested, plus it wasn't just like her other books. Liked it!
Cute book. I laughed and enjoyed seeing where the storyline would take me. A nice, lighthearted read.
Again a book I wouldnt pick, but I would be lying if I said I didnt laught the majority of the time.
I've read a number of Sue Margolis' books in the past and really enjoyed them. This one, however, just didn't grab my attention. I love it when I find a book that I just can't put down. This was the opposite - it was too easy to put down and difficult to pick up again.
This one reminded me of the shopaholic books, it is a little far fetched but entertaining.
I should have avoided this book for many reasons but didn't. It could have been a lot worse.
Was just ok for me. A lot of background paragraphs instead of dialog. Will probably try another one of her books.
Loved it!! Had me laughing almost the whole time! Sometimes crying, it was so hilarious
A fun read. This book fell apart on our Palm Springs trip since we all wanted to read it!
Cute, fun easy read. Her writing style is a lot like Sophie Kinsella.
Very cute book -- my first Sue Margolis and it was really a fun read.
I had a hard time getting into this book, the more I read the better it seemed to get but dragged on somewhat. I finished it non the less.

Probably one of the best funniest, laugh out loud, chick-lit books I have read in a very long time. Loved it!

The first book I translated into Romanian for the Polirom Publishing House. At times I felt like I was gonna burst with laughter, plus the writer is a pretty smart woman with sharp screenplay writer skills(as she ought to, given her job). Not a book for those with existential problems or high literary aspirations and criteria. Plain, guilty, nightstand fun.
