Even though I carefully read the jacket synopsis, my anticipation was firmly set on a sapphic love story featuring two individuals with the same name.

However, what I encountered was a rather lackluster experience. While the book did have a few good one-liners that managed to bring a momentary smile to my face, the overall plot was dry and seemed to drag on interminably.

It felt as if the author could have condensed the story significantly and made it exponentially more enjoyable.

Nonetheless, I have to admit that it wasn't a total waste of time. There were still some elements that held my attention, albeit briefly.

Perhaps with a bit more refinement and a tighter narrative, this could have been a much better read.

Hilarious !! ><

This simple expression "Hilarious !! ><" holds a world of amusement within it. It's like a quick burst of laughter that can light up any moment. Imagine a situation where someone tells a joke that is so side-splittingly funny that all you can do is exclaim "Hilarious !! ><".


It could be a scene from a comedy movie, a witty comment made during a conversation, or a funny incident that catches you completely off guard. The two symbols "><" seem to represent the wide-open mouth and eyes of someone who is overcome with laughter.


This short and sweet phrase has the power to convey the intensity of the humor and share the joy with those around you. It's a universal language of laughter that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. So, the next time you find something truly funny, don't be afraid to let out a big "Hilarious !! ><" and spread the laughter.

Read, quite accidentally, for the second time. It has been nine years since the first reading and 25 years after its publication.

From my collection of bargain-out-of-print books, I selected a copy and took it with me on my recent trip.

Surprisingly, I found it even more enjoyable than the first time.

Although it might be about 50 pages longer than what is strictly necessary, the plot remains engaging and full of fun.

The story unfolds in a way that keeps the reader hooked from beginning to end.

Each character is well-developed, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.

Despite its length, the book never feels拖沓 or boring.

It is a testament to the author's skill that even after all these years, the story still has the power to captivate and entertain.

I am glad that I rediscovered this gem and look forward to sharing it with others.

Her writing style has truly captivated me and left me eager for more.

I can't wait to see what other wonderful stories she has in store for her readers.

Finally, the lighthearted book I’ve been desperately searching for!

It’s not my usual genre. I typically lean towards more serious or intense reads. But this one, it’s a unique blend of romance, cozy mystery, and the charm of New York.

There were times where I wasn’t sure what the book wanted to be. It seemed to be pulling in different directions at times. But ultimately, it was a cute story. The romance was sweet and the mystery added an element of intrigue. The setting of New York City gave it a vibrant and lively backdrop.

Overall, I’m glad I found this book. It was a nice change of pace and a fun read. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted and enjoyable story.

This was a truly enjoyable novel.

It centered around a nursery school teacher who happened to have the same name as a famous celebrity.

The story was filled with the lighthearted and humorous experiences she had as she casually dropped the name in various situations.

Sometimes, people would be initially shocked or confused when they heard the name, thinking that the actual celebrity was present.

The teacher would then have to clarify and explain the coincidence, which often led to some comical misunderstandings and exchanges.

Her adventures in using the shared name added a touch of fun and excitement to her otherwise ordinary life as a nursery school teacher.

The novel was a delightful read that brought a smile to the reader's face with its charming and entertaining plot.

It was a reminder that even the simplest of coincidences could lead to some truly memorable and enjoyable experiences.

Overall, it was a great novel that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a light and fun read.

This is yet another book that I came across while I was tidying up some book shelves. I have absolutely no clue as to where I obtained it or the reason why I would have purchased it in the first place. That being said, I actually derived a fair amount of enjoyment from it. It makes for a great summer beach read.

Surprisingly, it didn't pan out to be what I initially anticipated. The cover proclaims that a woman discovers that another woman sharing the same name has just relocated into her apartment building in New York. The protagonist is a teacher of 4-year-olds at a preschool. The new arrival is a journalist who interviews renowned individuals and is invited to all manner of glamorous events. Right from the start, they commence receiving each other's mail. Since the journalist has an unlisted phone number, people seeking her end up with the preschool teacher's phone number, and she begins to receive calls from famous people and the other woman's lovers. I had expected the book to be a humorous account of the preschool teacher attending events with famous folk, attempting to pass herself off as the journalist.

The preschool teacher gets a phone call intended for the journalist from the manager of a high-class jewelry store. They have a mutual friend who is attempting to arrange a blind date. The teacher consents to meet him, pretending to be the journalist. They hit it off splendidly, and she deliberates over whether she should disclose the truth to him. Then, tragically, the journalist is murdered, and the preschool teacher and her new boyfriend find themselves drawn into the investigation.

All in all, this book managed to hold my interest, and I relished it as a delightful, light-hearted read.
