If a book can cheer you up and make you laugh and feel good at the end , it was totally worth the time you spent reading it . I loved the book from page 1. I was still laughing when I started this review :)

Jane is an assistant editor at Posh trying to make her way towards Associate Editor and in desperate need of a boyfriend because her YOUNGER cousin Dana is getting married and she doesn’t want to be pitied by her family and mocked at by Dana for attending the ceremony without a dat More...

So meh. I've read this book before-not literally but in that this plot line is tired. That's my doing picking it up anyway. But this book never really distinguished itself as special or different for me.

Everyone is very proud of themselves living in Manhattan although they are so poor they can't pay attention. The first half of the book was mainly about smoking cigarettes all the time. The second half of the book was mostly self-realizations that at times felt unnecessary and More...

This book was a very fast and disappointing read. The story of Jane who feels she must find the perfect man in NYC is filled with Sex and the City cliches and is truly predictable--(it is saying a lot for me to call a book predictable because usually when everybody else already knows what is going to happen in a story--I'm the one who is truly shocked by the ending--that said, this book is super predictable) I finished it though and am ready to pass it on to someone who will, hopefully, enjoy it More...

There's a story how I came across this book. I am a big fan of U.S. TV series called Chuck - so, I'm a fan of Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski. I googled for Zachary's filmography at Wikipedia and saw a film titled See Jane Date. I clicked upon it and this film actually is based on the book with the same title! So to conclude everything, here I am, just finished reading the book and am going to review it!

I love this book because it has witty sense of humour. At the very first page of More...

One of, if not the best, chick-lit book I have read. See Jane Date follows Jane Green's quest to find a date/boyfriend to take to her cousin's wedding, since she's already told her aunt, cousin, and high school rival that she's so seriously dating someone that they're practically living together. With the help of her two best friends, Jane goes on a series of blind dates to find that guy, all the while vying for a promotion at work and editing her hometown rival's tell-all book.

Wha More...

See Jane. See Jane work. Work Jane work.

See Jane. See Jane date. See Jane get dumped.

This is the story of Jane Gregg. The 28-year-old assistant editor just can't seem to win. She can't get promoted, and she can't find a date for her cousin's upcoming wedding.

All of this will eventually change. But in the meantime, readers will experience a few blind dates, a few awkward business meetings, and a whole lot of heartbreak.

Published at the height More...

The whole book is about Jane whining to find a man, and the self-pity drips off of every page. It is boring. Instead of waiting for the right man to come by, she could just focus on her job and friends, and be happy with that, but nooo.. She has to whine about not being able to find a guy and thinking it's all her fault. Well, guess what, Jane? It is. Nobody wants a whining little bitch.

I never want to read it again.

It was very cute and very PG to PG-13 (depending on how much of a prude you are). I must say, I saw the fore shadowing happening at the very beginning, then forgot it between all the blind dates she had and the BAM.... I was right. The focus of this book (although she goes through God knows how many dates) is more on female friendship, which is a nice change:)

Loved it! Classic chick lit with a twenty-something woman trying to find herself, a little romance and establish a career and if that's not enough for someone whose already just transitioning into adulthood and facing *gasp* turning thirty without a ring on her finger, her baby cousin Dana is getting married at the famed Plaza and she's just been assigned to edit the memoir (not autobiography!) of high school nemesis Natasha "The Gnat" Nutley. Will Jane ever find love or even a second More...

I didn't finish this book because the plot has been done so many times before: Twenty-something New York gal tries to move ahead in her magazine career (why do they always work at magazines?) while trying to find Mr. Right. The characters just weren't interesting enough to stick around to see how it ended.

This book was god-awful. The author actually says at several points that you are a worthless person if you're 30 and still single, that you can't be complete without a man by your side. Jane was not a sympathetic character, but just as phony and self-centered as the people she complained about.

I'm beginning to think the entire
generation of twenty-something
females is neurotic. And no
wonder, if all they read are
books like this. Jane worries
about everything, every thing
she does, every word out of her
mouth. Bad Jane. Bad, bad Jane.
Lighten up, Jane, lighten up.

This book was relatively predictable. While I got to know Jane fairly well, I thought even she could have undergone more detailing. The other characters weren't very well-known to the reader at all. For the most part, characterization was just flat and somewhat unbelievable.

Just finished this book last night, it's a really good book and I very much enjoyed it. Kept me wanting to keep reading more and more of it, all the time. I could barely put this book down, definitely would recommend this for every girl. I saw the movie based on the book before reading this book but they did a good job at making into a movie.

Funny, smart, and perceptive. Another "chick lit" book that "transcends" the label. (I hate that "chick lit" is considered derogative in the first place.)

Can't wait to rent the made-for-TV movie (which I watched years ago) and see Zachary Levi (of Chuck!) in it.

Tivo had recorded the movie. On a whim, and I was sewing, I turned it on. After the first few minutes, I stopped quilting & watched the rest. Today, I found the book on the shelf. Usually the book is better than the film. I'm looking forward to this.

Typical chick lit about a young woman (Jane) angsting over the fact that she is still single while her younger cousin is getting married. Add to that fact, Jane is hoping to get a promotion to an editor in a publishing house by helping to edit a memoir written by her now famous nemesis from high school. A few blind dates ensue, too. A quick, fun read.

Total chick book. Jane needs a date for her cousin's wedding. Her friends set her up with 5 dates. Each date is a disaster, some are so funny, others are horrific, others are sad. Light and easy to read.

Another book read before seeing the movie (on The Family Channel, I think). I love books that get the reader involved, this one did for me. It was fun trying to keep up with all the potentials for Jane.

This was a really enjoyable read. Pretty standard chick lit fare, set in New York. A little predictable at times I did found the characters very endearing and I cared what happened to them.

Interesting book, I enjoyed seeing Jane develop through the story, but I thought several parts seemed implausible or awkward. A good book to pass the time but not a must-read.

Especially good - very vulnerable and touching. I liked the characters and understood her pain. I hope to end up as happy as she seems … ah, books and movies!

Blah. Fine. Whatever. Entertaining enough I suppose - but really just one more "I wont be happy until I have a boyfriend" story. ...Which I am growing tired of.

It's a rare occasion when I want to throw a book across the room.
This book enabled one of those occasions. I gave it a chance because it was recommended, but I'll never get the time I spent on this one back. Entirely predictable chick lit drivel. I wouldn't wish this upon anyone.

A cute novel about 28 year old New Yorker Jane, and her quest to find a date for her cousin's wedding. Fun chick lit.

meh. A fairly lame piece of chick lit with a predictably happy ending.

About halfway through... completely hilarious, well-paced, and relatable. I want to be friends with Jane Gregg!

This book was very cute. It's about a girl who's family tries to pressure her into getting married, but instead she has all these stresses at work including getting the most popular girl in her high school a book deal. It is quite funny, and the characters are great.
