- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5*wooh* OK, let's get going on this review. I for one thought that the beginning was a little bit slow going and had too many characters. If you're one of those people that put down a book after 100 pages because you aren't liking it then I encourage you to keep reading on this one. Now remember, I'm being totally honest here! I was confused at the start; trying to figure out the whirlwind of characters were going to relate to each other was not happening for me. Oh...but Wendy Holden surprises you!After you meet the characters the story starts falling together and she magically ties each one's story to the next. (This took some talent...it is quite a group of characters!) It was done well and I was happy with the book once I started to understand it.Now...I was sitting there through half of the book thinking 'Man! I hope these bitches get what they deserve!." Seriously, that was my thought! So yes, I ended up rushing through to the end of the book and I'm happy to say that yes, they got what they deserved.Overall, if you can get past meeting all players in the story, them it's worth the read. Once you get into It you'll be sitting there rooting for the underdogs and racing to the end.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5First of all, do not read this book if you are on a diet!!! I mean, I love food, especially Italian, but the second half of the book it is an endless boring blabber about food. Not what I look for in a chick lit.
Plus the story is a bit far-fetched
DO NOT GO FURTHER IF YOU STILL WANT TO READ IT
I mean the protagonist, an aspiring actress, being happy when the blockbuster movie where she was the lead female character is cancelled? That in my opinion is going a bit too far…. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I do have a soft spot for Wendy Holden's books as they're usually well-written and a cut above the average chick-lit, but still a guilty pleasure. This is an enormous book, stuffed with seemingly disparate characters and story lines, which all do. eventually, converge in a dénouement in Italy. While Holden always conforms to the conventions of the genre, one of the things that sets her apart from the rest is that she teases the reader with a set of possibilities for her characters that don't always happen. Great fun.
