Books Reviews

Curling up with a good book is a favourite year-round pursuit: in front of a blazing fire in January, in the park under a warm May sun, in a hammock lake-side in July or with coffee on the back porch overlooking brilliant fall foliage.

ChickAdvisor members love light reads like the wildly popular Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella or the more introspective romances of Emily GiffinHe's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

This is a very good play, about what it means to fit in. The characters are all very interesting - not your typical stock characters. The premise was interesting, and it was very well written.

To be honest, I wasn't really a fan of this book. It was entertaining and an easy read, but I just couldn't relate to the author at all. I was flip-flopping over whether or not to recommend this book or not. As a resilience/you can do anything book, this is great. But I would...
