Painful. Simply painful. Which reminds me why I usually don't read chick lit.

[Judith]

This was the first real chicklit book I have read. I can understand why the genre is popular. This book is an easy read, a fun story and the outcome is quite predictable, so there isn't much tension. For some women, they might recognize themselves in any of the characters, but that is not the case for me. Though I could not identify with the characters, I could find myself in their struggle against weight. Dieting is something appalling to me, and I can fully understand why it is so difficult if, like the four friends Pam, Toni, Maggie and Ellie, you try to change your habits rigorously.
The story has been quite entertaining, yet there weren't many suprises. What I disliked was the quite outspoken language about sex, the story didn't need that. All in all a good book to read when you don't want to spend much time thinking about plots or hidden meanings.

[Marije]

Plottechnisch eigenlijk miserabel, irrealistisch en te voorspelbaar. Vier vrouwen die eigenlijk te dik zijn willen gaan afvallen maar dat schiet niet echt op. Ondertussen pleegt iemand zelfmoord, krijgt één van de vrouwen blijkbaar een vriend waar maar twee regeltjes tekst aan worden besteed terwijl de relatiesores over het algemeen uitgebreid uit de doeken wordt gedaan. En de blijkbaar knappe, aardige én rijke man kiest nadat hij hete seks heeft gehad met de knapste van de vier toch een van de andere vrouwen, namelijk de oudere, minder aantrekkelijke en licht chaotische Ellie die toevallig al een poos zijn kindermeisje was. En niet te vergeten, ondertussen brengen ze een boek uit waarvan het proces en de inhoud een compleet mysterie zijn gebleven. Sure. Toch maar 3 sterren ipv 2 sterren, omdat het verhaal vlot is geschreven.
En omdat ik met dit boek een mug heb doodgeslagen.

[Betty Ann Burban]

Typical normal women trying to stay slim and lovely

The WWW women's dieting club was funny as all four friends tried to make the effort to improve their lives with trial and error and many bottles of wine

[Valeria]

Was a bit predictable but nonetheless a good and enjoyable read

[helena mcgarry]

I found this book really interesting especially as I'm trying to lose weight myself

[Michelle Leffert]

The beginning was okay. Got better then it wrapped up fast and bad

[Mitchan]

Has aged and really shows and particularly the fat phobia would not fly now.

I was not interested in any of the characters of which there were many, and for a group of women that were meant to be close knit they didn't have particularly solid relationships with each other.

Main plot involves random adoption of an orphaned child and an unlikely marriage between Ellie and Jack who apparently loved her yet had a fling with her mate. Other characters and their lives seem like an after thought.

[Preet]

When I finished the book, I felt like there was a lot that had not been resolved or was very quickly and conveniently wrapped up. The story was kind of long, especially for how it ended. Emphasis was placed on the friendship of these women, yet they weren't treated equally when it came to getting space in the book.

[Sarah]

Niet de beste chick-lit die ik ooit las. Verder niet minder vermakelijk maar het plot was wel vrij zwak. Het eind zag je vanaf pagina drie aankomen en er waren wel een paar kleine verassingen maar erg spontaan was het allemaal niet. Anita Notaro kan nog niet tippen aan Jill Mansell, dat is wel zeker.

[Casey]

A "nice" book. This book was entertaining enough not to be boring. Yet, is was tame enough to never keepme up turning pages. If I couldn't have finished it, I would have been fine.
Sometimes I want a book like this so I have something to occupy my time, but it's not intense, so I can read it whenever without it interfering with my life.

[Kim]

I love Ireland and usually like the way Irish writers write, but this was perhaps too Irish for an American reader. I didn't understand lots of the references to Irish products or idioms. Overall, I did enjoy the story

[Inge Hulsker]

Vermakelijk boek. Niet geweldig geschreven. In plaats van 1 perspectief te kiezen, worden achter elkaar de gedachten van persoon A en persoon B beschreven, wat een beetje verwarrend werkt. Verder zie je het einde van mijlenver aankomen, maar goed, het laat je wel met een tevreden gevoel achter.

[Sherri]

Cute story about a group of women and their friendship. Light reading.

[Kimberly]

Its an easy read. I took this book back and forth to the gym with me as inspiration.

[Susie]

Very Funny!

[Joelle]

i got through 5 pages of this book. thats it. terrible!

[Eisa]

Good book if you're looking for a light, girly book. Really liked the Irish speak, made me laugh a couple times and almost cry at one point.

[Arlene]

Fun in Dublin with four people. The slang presumed one knew the words and some humor may be lost but it was a good read.

[Julie]

I got this by accident (when looking for Laurie Notaro books at the library), but it was a fun (light!) read.

[Melissa Meyer]

I found it hard to get a grip on all the characters at the beginning but once I did i quite enjoyed reading it.

[Kara]

Meh, not my cup of tea.

[Fez]

A light easy read very funny in places!

[Tamara]

Heerlijk boek om bij weg te dromen!

[Lindy Bunting]

Very cute easy reading enjoyable!

[C Pana]

Adored this book. Anita Notaro has a wonderful way of telling a story...

[Arleen]

Easy read. Somewhat predictable.

[Pastrix]

Started really really funny. Half way she had to add drama and went downhill.

[Dewi]

Geen fijne chicklit. Rommelig geschreven.
