Summary: Laugh out Loud!!
Comment: Jennifer Cruise does it again! She makes me laugh with her witty dialogue and outrageous situations. Its the perfect summer sunshine read or a great way to laugh through a rainy day.
Rating: 3
Summary: 3 1/2 stars
Comment: Theres gotta be something wrong when you find yourself more interested in secondary characters than in the main characters. Such was the case with this book, I often found myself more interested in Gwen's life than Tilda's. Also, I realized that I liked Clea more than I actually like Tilda or Matilda Veronica/Scarlet.
I've read some of the reviews that said that there were too many characters in this book that were out of place but I think that those characters kind of saved the book from a downfall. Yet, indeed there were so many things going on that sometimes I lost track of Davy and Tilda. Not that Tilda is not hard to forget because she has to be one of the blandest females Crusie has ever written about.
All in all this book did not make a 4 in my list because it fell short on the love story and there were just some things hard to follow like Nadine's mom Eve/ Louise. I did not find that funny at all and I actually felt sorry for her.
Rating: 5
Summary: No Faking--This is a great read!
Comment: Clear your calendar before you pick up this book, as you won't want to stop for anything else once you start reading. FAKING IT is reminiscent of the best of the old madcap romantic comedies of the Cary Grant era, updated for the 21st century. Witty repartee, charming con men, confused identities, and misunderstandings abound, all wrapped up in a fast-paced,laugh-out-loud package.
One of the things I love best about Jennifer Crusie's books is that her characters are human. Sometimes the heroine is too distracted by life to have mind-blowing sex, even with a hunk of a hero, and only the villianness has a perfect figure. I particularly loved the three generations of women in this book. Quirky and yet down-to-earth, they are women I can imagine having as neighbors and friends. Just watching Gwen, Tilda, Nadine and Eve learn to balance their obligations to the family they love with their growing awareness of their own needs as individuals would have made this a worthwhile read.
Jennifer Crusie doesn't stop with memorable characters, however. She makes you believe in Happily Ever After, and she adds non-stop capers, a delightful sense of humor, and sparkling writing to create a tour de force of modern romantic comedy. Don't miss this book!
