can't wait to read more from Theresa Alan

This book is such a fun read, revolving around the lives of six improv comedians who work at Spur of the Moment. The main main character is Ana, but we actually see the perspective of everyone else, Chelsea, Marin, Jason, Scott and Ramiro. It was such a fun read that I started yesterday night and finished it this morning. It is definately a fun, beach read.

Ana, who has always had a crush on Jason, talks about how she wants to be someone in life and not just do improv part time and her office job during the day. She has always aspired to do stand-up, but she is too scared. Jason is a teacher, environmentalist, and a vegetarian, BUT has been in "love" with Marin for a long time, yet she only sleeps with him here and there. Marin is a beautiful, funny, Britney look-a-like who hates her day job, loves her job at Spur of the Moment, has rich parents who never go and see her, and is always searching for more. She gets the opportunity to go to LA and do a pilot for a WB upcoming series. There she meets Jay, whom she falls for, while Jason is at home, brooding over her. Ramiro is latino and gay (and thats why his father won't speak to him). He writes novels, yet doesn't publish them or try to get them to be published. Ana, being the great friend that she is, reads one of them and loves it. She sends his book to a few publishers and hopes that he gets something out of it. Chelsea actually does not live with them (the other five do) but is a personal trainer by day. She meets Rob, whom she falls for, yet, she hates his job as a firefighter. And last but not least, Scott. Scott has always had this thing for Ana, but since she has always been crushing over Jason, he doesn't do anything. They actually make out and one day she realizes, that hey, maybe something between them can happen.

I don't want to give out more from the book, but that is just some of the problems that the group encounters. It was funny, romantic, sad and all around great. As a previous reviewer said, it reminds me of Sex in the City, since we see everyone's perspective, but there still is sort of a main character. The difference is, we see guys' perspectives, which adds a little more sizzle to this already enchanting and funny book. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!

A MUST READ!

This is the most real book I've read in long time! The way the characters interact with one another is so true to life you feel as if you're in the story yourself. The only thing I did not like was the ending. While the message was well received, I found it to be quite abrupt. But other than that, this was a great book and a definite must read!

You'll Love to Laugh with these Goofballs

One of my beefs with a lot of fictional characters is that they're either so perfect you can't relate to them, or so unlikeable all you want to do is kill them off yourself. I want to hang out with these people - they've fun AND funny, and supportive of each other, each character has a distinct voice and there's conflict and tension without anyone having to be a victim. A great, fun read - bravo, Theresa! I'll definitely be reading more of your work.

Egh...

I generally enjoy the genre of this book, so when I saw it on clearance for $2 at the local book store I decided to give it a try. I felt the story was alright but the writing was... not great.
I don't mean to sound too critical (and I haven't read any of the author's other books) but I found the writing to be almost to "by the book". I noticed at the beginning she used a lot of analogies to describe things and in general way too many product references, such as (not actual quote) "They were eating Doritos while X played XBox and Y read People Magazine".

I guess I just found the writing to be something I would expect from a school assignment where the teacher had a list of writing skills she wanted the students to incorporate into the story. BUT I gave the story 3 stars because I did read the whole thing in about 2 days and didn't feel like I wasted my time.
