Excellent, funny, sweet and did I mention funny.
The scenes on the train are just laugh out loud some of the funniest writing I've read in a long time.
This is the second of Colette Moody's books I've read and I cannot wait to read her third book. I don't know if she is still writing, but I know that if she is, I'm buying. ...more

Seeing as I finished this book in one sitting with playoff football blaring in the background, and I barely noticed, it is safe to say that this book is nothing short of magically splendid. Fantastic wit and dialogue I could not get enough of. I spent the entire time smiling or laughing my ass off. Kudos, Ms. Moody. You are well on your way to being my favorite.

A friend recommended this book as a fun, entertaining read. It was all of that and more. The banter is bawdy, witty, and fast paced. At the 50% mark it really picked up and I found myself fully engaged with the characters and laughing out loud. This was the perfect pick me up since I've been having a tough time staying focused when reading.

Definitely a fast-paced and laugh-out-loud read. Moody nails the 30's style screwball comedies (which I love) in both dialogue as well as farcical situations - adding a fair bit of debauchery and crudity for good measure. If you are looking for a break from the standard lesfic angst-ridden romances, I would recommend this one.

F'ing fantastic. My review is located on www.reviews.c-spot.net.
*I needed some laughs after reading a fantastic but moderately depressing read so I read all three of Ms. Moody's books in three days. Loved them all just as much, if not more, than the earlier reads.
2020 reread - really, really needed this book right now. So many laughs. ...more
