Summary: Absolutely Fabulous
Comment: I picked this book with a bit of hesitation but after the first few pages I was hooked and I absolutely loved this book. Sophy is the first character that I've read of that isn't 22 with a size six waist, a perfect family and the perfect little life and career. She's a realistic, 30 something, size 14 English girl trying to keep her parents, or mother, out of her love life so she tells her what she wants to hear. But I found myself laughing out loud with this one or just chuckling. It was highly enjoyable, I read over half the book in one night, and absolutely enjoyed every page. I couldn't put it down and once I was finished, I wanted to read it again. Yes, he ending was a bit predictable but all the same, it was still a wonderful book. I highly enjoyed it and look forward to other books by this author!

Summary: Little Lie, My Eye!
Comment: First, I need to say that this book was quite funny! I laughed out loud more than a few times, but honestly, it was a bit verbose and slow-moving for the first 100 pages.
Sophy Metcalfe did not just tell one little lie; she allowed this one elaborate lie to just escalate to unbelievable proportions! Although it was fun to see her get tangled in this mess, at times I felt like it was all a bit too much. It was a stretch that she was able to not only continue the initial lie for so long, but build on it until it was almost to slapstick/sitcom levels of humor.
I enjoyed this book overall, but I think it could have been even better with a bit more character development of Josh. I wanted to feel giddy and excited about him too (like Sophy), but I didn't have an opportunity to get to know him well enough.
I'd recommend this book as a good summer read, but with one piece of advice--don't give up too soon when reading it. The pace picks up midway and the storyline does improve greatly.

Summary: Fantastic Read!!!
Comment: What an absolutely fantastic fun read. This story reminds me of a cross between Bridget Jones and the Shopaholic series in its humor. I laughed out loud at the way things progressed through the story. It also shows how sometimes one little white lie can turn into a huge white elephant. What happens when you tell your mother you have a fabulous boyfriend that doesn't exist and you have to produce him? Well Sophy (with a Y not an IE) hires one but, ack she is actually really attracted to him and this has her confused. There are a couple of other story lines running through also. The thing I liked the most is the characters all seemed so real! Hats off to another new author for me that I am now scrambling around to find other works by...
