I could not stop making comparisons of this book to The Devil Wears Prada and The Second Assistant A Tale from the Bottom of the Hollywood Ladder. Complete sense of deja vu the whole way through. This story has been told before, and was VERY predictable the whole way through. If you disregard the other 2 books this was ripped off from then it is a decent story. But I would stick with the two listed above first before trying out this one... ]]>

I wanted to love this book - I really did! When the book focused on the behind the scenes of the "Trading Spaces" meets "What Not to Wear" DIY show, the book was great! I loved reading the chapters with the crazy tenants, the crazier rooms, and the craziest designs. This book would have easily received 4 stars from me if not for 2 things: (1) there were these sections in the book where the author tried a bit too hard to be funny by using alliteration. Enough with that already! Once was cute, but more than that? It is only in one section of the book, which makes me think the author thought it was funny for the 2 days she wrote it, then came to and it stopped. (2) I didn't really feel a connection between the friendship of the 3 girls. I felt the connections with all of the love stories intertwined, but when the 3 girls would be in the same scene, it just felt too generic. I would still recommend this to those who enjoy Trading Spaces just for the behind the scenes fun! ]]>
