Oooh - I need to read that (as you know)! I'll join you :)I'll see how my reading schedule looks but I probably can't start until Thursday. No matter - you start as planned and I'll catch up over the weekend...
Yay Jane! We probably won't be starting this for a few more days so you will be right on time :)
Great! Count me in :)
Oh phooey, I just finished reading this on my own - really enjoyed it, by the way. Maybe I'll join in on your chat when you're done reading.
Love to have you chat about it with us Kerste! Glad to hear you liked it:) I'm starting today.
I've read the first chapter, but I'll be slow moving along :)
I finished it today. Once I got about half way through I couldn't put it down. Lacey grew on me. For some reason it was a little slow for me in the beginning and it took until about 30% in until I was really invested, and then after the half way mark I loved it. Lacey just outshined every other character. Maybe her brother Emmett was a close second, I loved him too. By far my favorite scene in the book was when...(view spoiler) 4*
I tried to get going last night but the book hasn't come across properly onto my ereader. Hopefully I can sort this out so that I can continue :)
I started a bit last night. Really didn't get far, darn real life cutting into reading time again.
I've sorted out my problem with my book, so once I finish my current read, I'll get back onto this one :)
I hope you like it Jane!
Well ...I liked the first 1.5 chapters, so I've got high hopes :)
I finally got some time to sit and really get into the story. You were right Fran it was hard to put down. I stayed up until after midnight to finish it. I am absolutely in love with everything Molly Harper writes. Big 5 stars for me.
Dawn, I'm so glad you loved it! Thanks for choosing it as a buddy read and reading it with me. Did you have a favorite scene? Did you read my spoiler? That's my favorite, but I did love the whole thing.
Sorry I thought I had time to really comment then the kids got up. There were so many great scenes hard to choose just one. (view spoiler).
I loved all of the ones you mentioned also. And I had the same fear about the ending as you did, but also so glad with the way it turned out :)
I'm half way through. I was able to sit down last night and really get stuck into it, but had to put it down at 11pm :(I'm really enjoying it. It is effortless to read - I love Harper's sarcastic writing style. I think she would write a phone book (with some literary licence) and I would enjoy it!
Finished! It was so much fun :) There are some classic lines and scenes in the book that left me with a permanent smile on my face, and frequent giggles. But my favourite line was when she joined her brother and his friends (who are all gay) at his dinner party for a bit of sympathy, it goes pear-shaped, and she then asks "Can I get a second opinion from a panel of lesbians?"Thanks for the buddy read Fran and Dawn :)
Almost everything Emmett did was great.
I want Emmett to have his own book! He deserves his own HEA, and it would be so entertaining to read about :)
An Emmett follow up book: great idea. I haven't seen that MH writes M/M but there's no reason why she couldn't... She has the narkiness down pat :)
I invited Molly Harper to join us for a Q&A at the Ask An Author, Win A Book corner and she accepted. One of us has got to ask her about Emmett having his own book!
I am not really as in to m/m, but I wouldn't hesitate to read it if Molly Harper wrote it. That is super cool that she accepted!
Hmmm....I guess m/m is not mainstream enough for Emmett to have his own book. Would be great if she wrote a free story about him on her website though!

Great Jane - she should be joining us end of Feb. hopefully. I will keep you posted :)
Hi, ladies! I wasn't sure I could read this book by the end of the month but I started it 2 days ago & haven't done anything else since! I loved everything in it but... why does everyone around her think that she over-reacted with her mailing?? On the contrary, I thought it was very clever of her; it never happened to me (till now) but I think I would have gone with a much more "primitive" reaction (destroy everything around me, scream & cry but no public statement)... When (if) the day comes, I hope I can be a "grown-up" like Lacey ;) P.S: I usually find boyfriends in chick-lits quite boring but I actually liked Lefty!
Dinou, I agree. I put it up to an older generation thing.Older generations might be more willing to stay in a relationship like the mother in law. I don't know any one of my friends who would stay in a relationship like that.
Yes - and quite frankly I was amazed that her community appeared to support the girlfriend and lying, cheating ex, rather than Lacey. ...But where is the story in that?? LOL! We all know the h has to be up against the wall for max reader sympathy! ;)
