To Catch a Cheat - Kelley St. John

[Michelle]

Sent to me by the author, this is the type of book I probably wouldn't have picked up for myself. Which is a shame, because I would have missed out on a funny, sexy read!

 

The main female character, Marissa, realises that she has been cheated on by all the men in her life, and decides to set up a database and website for women to share their experiences too. Thinking she was cheated on by Trent, she adds his name.. only for him to retaliate with a male version, listing women that lie.

 

The battle that follows is entertaining and funny.. the outcome is kinda predictable, as it usually is, but the journey is fun, so you don't mind.

 

Marissa reflects the authors great sense of humour, and the friendship she has with Candi and Amy is both realistic and heart-warming. I'd love to read more about them. Trent starts off seeming a little too perfect, but ends up rather loveable!

 

If you like chick lit with a funny, sexy bite, you can't go far wrong with this one.

This is a new author to me Michelle. Looks awesome!!!

I'm not overkeen on chick lit as a whole.. it has to have something a little 'extra' for me. Carole Matthews has always been a favourite of mine, but I think Kelley is even funnier.. and definitely sexier!

 

(Watch out for an interview and give away to come! )

I really enjoyed "Bet Me" by Jennifer Crusie

but that's probably the only chick lit I've really enjoyed. I like snark, but I don't get the shoe fetish or purse fetish stuff. This book is great and doesn't have all that stuff.

Ooops sorry. Took over the thread.

"Snark"? What does that mean? (Sorry for being a bit dim!)

 

BTW, I'm a female who definitely doesn't understand the shoe/handbag fetish every woman is supposed to have!

It does sound like a good read, I might have to look into it. (Oh no! Here we go again...)

 

As for me, I'm all about shoes and handbags! It's just... I don't know... to find the perfect pair of shoes is like making a new best friend. The thought of them gives you a warm fuzzy feeling during the boring day at the office, you can rely on them not to let you down, they'll make you look and, more importantly, feel like million bucks simply by giving you confidence... Not to mention that with an amazing pair of shoes you can turn the dullest outfit into a hit! And the same goes with purses, to a certain degree. Not quite so much, though. But shoes and handbags are the cornerstones of an outfit, they make it or break it. And I'm going to shut up now before I'm kicked out of this forum because of too much shoe talk. *grin*

LOL I dated this one girl who had a room just full of shoes and handbags. She was a little on the rich side, but she would take trips all the time to LA and France. It was definetly something to see.

 

She ended up being too stuck up for me though

And back to the book...
