Slightly Engaged (Slightly #3)
It's been a year and half since Tracey and Jack moved in together, and everything's totally perfect- well okay, almost perfect. There's still Tracey's mom, who says they're "living in sin," and her friends, who are smug, married and totally sure that there would already be a ring on Tracey's finger if she hadn't been in such a rush to cosign a lease. Even Tracey is beginni...more

This book was cute, just like the rest of the "slightly" series!! I enjoy reading about Tracey's escapades...especially because she reminds me a lot of me when I was single and young. I remember that anticipation of "will we ever get engaged?"--especially after my now husband, then boyfriend, picked a fake (which turned into real) fight with me at the jeweler as we were trying on rings. Oy.

This is seriously THE BEST SERIES I have ever read! I highly recommend it to everyone! I love the characters, especially Tracey. I could relate to her on so many levels it was scary, at some points I was convinced author Wendy Markham had somehow gotten into my brain and wrote about my life! I breezed through the book and was eager to start the next, and the next - by the time Suburban ended I was so sad to have to say goodbye to the storyline and characters! I still say there needs to be a fina...more
Well, I know I did get engaged at some point, but I honestly don't think it was the issue it is here, so I'm finding it a bit hard to relate to this need to validate happiness by turning it into marriage. Seems like any fiancé would do... almost. She does at some point say she'd rather not be married to will than living un-engaged to Jack, but seems to forget that sentiment by the following thought. Ah well, the value of chicklit is its lightness, right? Give me Jennifer Crusie any day.

Guess I'm getting too old for this genre of ChickLit. I just wanted to keep smacking her with a 2x4. Characters need to grow and progress and, though it seemed like she made progress at the end of the first book, apparently she actually didn't because every single one of her neuroses was in full bloom throughout the second and third book.
I give up on this series (but not on the author).

I the next installment of Tracey's life, she is desperately awaiting Jacks proposal as she watches all her friends become engaged and get married. Watching her ups and downs you feel her annoyance/desperation in a very funny way. This is another great book in this wonderful series and I have already started the next one. Can't wait to see how the wedding turns out.
So far this is my least favorite of the series. Maybe I'm just reading them too close together, but certain things got on my nerves. For instance, Kate. She was driving me crazy. And attempting to book a place for the wedding before you are even engaged -- come on! I still like the series though, and I want to read the next one. :)
This was a very cute book! I loved the writing style of Markham with Tracey's hilarious thought processes. I felt like Tracey was a girlfriend spilling out her emotions to us in an on going casual conversation. This was the first I've read from the series...makes me want to read the others!
This book was about Tracy and Jack and how Tracy waits for Jack to propose and she lets it take over her life...in the last three pages of the book she realizes she needs to take life by the horns n live it...once she does that she is much happier....n finds herself engaged...
I am so glad this book is over! I couldn't stand all the incessant complaining from Tracey about Jack not proposing to her yet. While I didn't care much for this book in the series, I'm still planning to read the other two remaining books. I do agree with another reviewer that it's a shame this book was drug out, and the proposal doesn't happen somewhere in the middle. In someways, I felt this book a little predictable too.
Definitely a cute book... I was getting slightly annoyed how she carried on and on about not being engaged yet, but the entire book was adorable. I'm really not sure how I read it all today, but I'm excited to pick up the next one from the library sometime soon!

the central character is focused on one things and one things only. getting a diamond on her finger. and her obsession with this makes her come off as shallow and a bitch.
The reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because I just can't stand when current events in Hollywood are discussed in fictional literature. When the characters are talking about Julia Roberts' twins, many people won't get that.
If I ignore every reference to a celebrity, I really enjoyed the book. It was a quick read, and it actually gave a really good message to young women who are waiting on the man to get engaged. It really speaks about how you can't wait for others actions to influence...more

I loved this book! It was cute and I loved how the book was about Tracey wondering when Jack will FINALLY propose. Addicted to this series:)
This series of books was SOOOO funny! I loved each one of them and it left me wanting to read more from her!
Tracey was too whiny. I finished it just to see how Jake ended up proposing, but I really didn't want to read it. I think I'll take a break from this series for a while.
Could have used a little more plot than every chapter wondering if he will pop the question.

The third installment in Tracey's life. This time around Tracey has the guy but wants the ring. I'd love to read future installments, such as, Slightly Married and Slightly Pregnant.
Easy, fun read.

More like slightly obsessed, it was a bit of a slower read in comparison to the previous two.
Absolutely holarious. Markham gets better with every Slightly book she puts out. I love Tracy more now than I did back in Single! Keep 'em coming!
A sort of review is on my blog, www.nicolesnoggin.blogspot.com
This book was okay...not great, not terrible, but somewhere in the middle. It seemed like every other sentence out of Tracey's mouth was, "Oh maybe he's going to propose to me now." It got SO repetitive it was annoying. If she wasn't so occupied with getting engaged and just going with the flow, the rest of the storyline would have made for a great book. Tracey just had to ruin it! :-P It took me a while to get through just because Tracey was frustrating me so much, but still a fun read.
i liked it "slightly less" than the other books...definitely placed in the middle of a 5 book series. it was a quick, one evening read, and it did not make me think. mission accomplished :)
Love!
This is the third book in the series, and so far my least favorite. I found the main character, Tracey, irritating as she whined and wallowed in pity for all 320+ pages, waiting for her live-in boyfriend Jack to propose. Each chapter and section is the same. Tracy builds up every upcoming event and holiday, and then complains when the proposal doesn't come. I just wish there were other story lines to complement this one.
Will read these again! :D
This was a pretty cute book! Unfortunately, I thought it was the 1st of two novels, turned out to the be 2nd of three novels. To say the least, I'm kind of caught in the middle -- but delighted to be so. I'll probably start reading the next book tonight..just too many books to read. I can't keep up with what my mind has in store.
I bid you good reading!!

I did not enjoy this book. I only finished it because I wanted to find out how it ended without just flipping to the end of the book. The main character, Tracey, was utterly annoying with her obsession to get engaged. She also displayed boneheaded behavior at times when she probably could have gotten a proposal if she wasn't so self-involved.
