I am so sick and tired of celebrities getting their books published because of their names. People, there are real authors out there! This book, and I use that term loosely, is so poorly written, edited and put together, it’s not even laughable. How sad that publishing, like everything else in our world, is more obviously about greater profits and bottom-of-the-barrel quality. Send a message to them…Don’t buy crap like this. Just read the first page before you buy. It’s all you need do to see the truth.

So dissappointing as to be a chore to read. I looked at the book several times before purchasing it. Then wished I hadn’t. The behavior of Wollie is more than a bit unrealistic. That would have been ok had the story been told a bit better. Too many things going on to follow with any ease. Although it has a few moments that make it rate 3 stars I was glad to get to the end. Perhaps as with a few other series the second book will be better. Check it out at the library before spending your money. If you like Janet Evanovich and sarah strohmeyer this is not for you.

This is a delightful, entertaining first novel much stronger on characters than plot. But that alone made it an fun read and enough to probably make me look for her next book.

If you are a fan of Stephanie Plum, you will like Wollie. This story got a bit confusing at times, but all in all it was enjoyable. Laugh out loud moments make this a great beach book. I’m already reading her second book. I’d recommend this one!

Based on all the recommendations of others, especially about her second book, I decided to begin at the beginning. Yikes was this bad. Poorly written and her characters border on the retarded. What could have been humorous turned out to be sad. Too bad she didn’t just stick to a book about the dating experiment. I think I might have cracked a grin once during one of the dates.
