booklover7809 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I've just read/reviewed Pants on Fire by Maggie Alderson. Thought it was a fun and sassy read! Pure escapism... booklover7809 Booklover Book Reviews Word Puzzle Weekly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booklover7809 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 [/url]In this story we're introduced to a diverse mix of outrageous, larger than life characters - in locations ranging from the streets of Sydney's Kings Cross to the pristine Australian Outback. I think the flaw in some chick lit these days is the lead characters are written as though they are saints and only mix with the privileged. Alderson doesn't make that mistake, providing a lead character who is fallible and has a back-story - one a broad range of readers could identify with. Some of the darker topics touched on through the story include death, drugs and dependency. But never fear -- these topics are covered with a positive outlook and Alderson never fails to provide just the right amount of romance and a satisfying, happy ending! booklover7809 Booklover Book Reviews Word Puzzle Weekly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
