Summary: Wonderful Launch For Red Dress Ink!
Comment: What a fantastic choice of author and book to launch this new line of books for Red Dress Ink! This wonderfully refreshing novel was so realistic and fun to read, I was upset when I finished the book! Wendy has already proved she has so much talent with her suspense novels. This is a different type of novel altogether and it was equally as good and enjoyable. Tracy, the main character, is so REAL, I think there are many women out there who could probably identify with her trials and tribulations. Nothing is going her way, her so-called boyfriend leaves town for the summer, and Tracy decides to improve her life for the better. She looses weight, dumps her boyfriend and even quits her job! This book grabbed me from the very first page and wouldn't let me go. I can now hope that Wendy Markham will write a sequel to this fun and refreshing book, because I think all readers out there want to hear more about Tracy! Don't miss this book, it was wonderful!

Summary: Slightly typical, but a great read...
Comment: Yes, it's typical. Slightly Single's heroine is a twentysomething single girl living in the City who is miserable with her entry-level ad position (or glorified secretary -- take your pick), overweight, and in love with a man who is commitment-phobic and just plain not-very-nice. There is nothing new here in this novel that I haven't read before. However, Wendy Markham's version of the City girl plight is fun to read, a perfect weekend or beach book, and her characters have just the right qualities for readers to either love them or hate them.
Our heroine, Tracey Spadolini, has finally made a life for herself in the Big City. Granted, it comes in the form of a crappy job and part-time boyfriend; however, Tracey is convinced it's all about to change for the better. Once Will, the actor-slash-boyfriend, returns from his summer job doing theatre in upstate New York, Tracey is certain he will be ready to commit and move in together. And while their summer apart definitely holds change in store, Tracey adds epiphanies into the bargain: about her relationship, her position in life and the woman she strives to be.
What I have come to expect from a Red Dress Ink novel is epitomized in Slightly Single. A very easy read; increasingly enjoyable with each turning page; and despite its predictability, its appeal kept me reading. No great frills in the writing style -- it's kept more conversational and relaxing -- and the plot does not punch and pop, but Wendy Markham has created a very relateable character, very human, with warts and all. And in her effort, has also created a fan in me.

Summary: Funny in parts, but too insecure to "stick"
Comment: Tracey is way too much in "need" of a man. This is not a book that I would recommend to my bookworm girlfriends. Its one saving grace is that just when I was about to put it down and give up on it, I would come across something hilariously funny and actually laugh out loud. But all in all the book was pretty disappointing.
