I can't wait for the book to be over.

[Amy]

I’ve only ever stopped reading a couple of books and this is one of them. I gave it 100 pages hoping it would get better but … no. I disliked the characters and the style so much. In 100 pages you still don’t know half the characters yet, it was so much “fluff” and I was bored. I won’t be finishing this one.

Chick lit trash

[Mary]

I really wanted this to be a good book, I loved the premise: 2 women who can't find love get help from a matchmaker, in the Hamptons. I really hoped all of the characters would be alone because none of them were very likable. I even hated the matchmaker. It did make me appreciate not having all the wealth that these two women had. I finished it but it's probably not one I'll read again. - It may even be a book I give up!

[Anne]

This was one of the worst books I have ever read. I threw it in the trash the instant I turned the last page. It doesn't even deserve one star

[Lindsey]

This book has so many typos in it! If you're looking for a good scavenger hunt for mis-spellings, this is the book for you!

[Amy]

Not so thrilled with this so far....we'll see how long I last. Couldn't do it..maybe some other time.

[Lulu]

Loved it !

[Cindy]

It was a quick read and entertaining. A little to superficial for me but that's okay every once in awhile.

[Eli]

Kind of like reading a tabloid newspaper, but harmless. It was an easy read & funny at times, but there was little depth to the tale.

[Joanne]

awful. didn't make it through chapter two.
