The Assistants: A Novel
Robin Lynn Williams

Amazon Remainders Account, 2005

Sugarland Shuffle

+ Sad but true
+ A grin from beginning to end

Sleeping Over, the Next Sex and the City

+ Much better than Innappropriate Men

This is one of the best books I have every read. I am not yet finished with it but can't wait, I figure I will done by morning tomorrow (since I only get to read on the train to and from work, an hour and a half each way). I hope they make your book into a movie or TV show just like Sex and the ...

Very entertaining! F.G. Gerson has a clever, engaging writing style. Knowing that these characters are based on real individuals, I was captivated by the story.

Monkey Business
Sarah Mlynowski

Red Dress Ink, 2004

Great book!

+ Great Book!
+ Should be a TV Show!

This book is great: as opposed to one person narratives the story here is told from the point of view of all four of the three main characters. This alone makes this book a lot more interesting than a lot of the other books in this genre. The story is about four students, all at their late ...

This is another hilarious novel by Lancaster! I loved her first one and this one did not disappoint as well! I laughed out loud so many times, even when I brought the book to Jury Duty!
