Heller has a breezy writing style, which I truly enjoy.

The narrator in her work is usually engaging, drawing the reader in with ease. However, at times, the narrator can be irritating, perhaps due to certain idiosyncrasies or actions.

The plot had a few surprises, which is always a pleasant aspect in a genre that is largely predictable. It keeps the reader on their toes and adds an element of excitement.

The presentation of phobias was an unusual plot point. It added a layer of depth and complexity to the story. The narrator mentioned that people who aren't phobic wouldn't understand the situation, and in my case, she was right.

Phobias can be a very personal and intense experience, and it was interesting to see how the characters in the story dealt with them. Overall, Heller's work has its strengths and weaknesses, but it definitely keeps the reader engaged and thinking.

The story had some truly funny moments that kept me engaged initially. However, the ending was a huge letdown. Celeb journalist Ann Ross was given an almost impossible assignment - to interview a star who despised the media. He publicly embarrassed her, which led to her losing her job. She then returned to her small town. Coincidentally, the movie star ended up at her local hospital to seek healthcare and hide from the media. Ann volunteered there and, while trying to get the scoop, ended up falling for him. She also questioned her career choice and discovered that the hospital was performing unnecessary hysterectomies to make money.

This is where the book really started to disappoint. Instead of becoming a reporter who exposed the bad practices of the hospital, she decided to become a go-between for celebs to meet sick patients. What kind of "giving back" is that? It doesn't seem to address the real issue at hand. And we never find out what truly happened to the patients, except that they filed a class action suit. It would have been nice to have a little more depth and resolution to the story. Overall, it had potential but fell short in the end.

I laughed out loud many times when I was reading this book!

It was such an engaging read that I managed to finish it during a 6-hour trip from Cirebon to Bandung, despite the long traffic jam in Sumedang.

I have a great affection for the story of a strong, determined, and spunky female falling in love.

The reason is that it's always full of unpredictability, which keeps me on the edge of my seat.

Thankfully, it has a happily ever after (HEA), which is truly satisfying.

This kind of story not only entertains me but also gives me hope and inspiration.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance with a feisty female lead.

It's a must-read for those who want to escape from reality and immerse themselves in a world of love and adventure.

I can't wait to share this wonderful book with my friends and see their reactions.

Overall, it's been a great reading experience, and I'm looking forward to reading more books like this in the future.

I truly had a wonderful time reading this book.

The author's writing style was so engaging and entertaining, making it impossible to put the book down.

It was not just a regular book; it was a great feel-good book that lifted my spirits and made me forget about all the stress and烦恼 in my life.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a lighthearted and enjoyable read that will leave them feeling happy and content.

It is definitely one of the best books I have read in a long time and I will surely be reading it again in the future.

This was a light and humorous book. It had a touch more bite and sarcasm compared to the typical chick-lit novel.

The plot was rather ludicrous, yet highly entertaining. A celebrity journalist, having lost her job due to a reclusive movie star, relocates back to her hometown. Coincidentally, she encounters that very same movie star at the hospital where she commences volunteering. And from there, a series of hilarious shenanigans unfold.

The story takes unexpected turns, keeping the reader engaged and amused throughout. The characters are well-developed, with their own quirks and personalities. The journalist's journey of self-discovery and redemption is both heartwarming and comical.

Overall, this book offers a refreshing take on the chick-lit genre, adding a bit of edge and wit to the usual formula. It's a fun read that will leave you with a smile on your face.

Fun and fluffy, this book was a nice break from the drier reading I've been doing lately.

It was like a breath of fresh air, filled with light-hearted stories and charming characters.

The writing style was engaging and easy to follow, making it a quick and enjoyable read.

I found myself smiling and laughing throughout, completely immersed in the world created by the author.

It was the perfect escape from the stress and monotony of daily life.

Whether you're looking for a light read to pass the time or a book to lift your spirits, this one is definitely worth checking out.

I can't wait to see what else the author has in store for us.

This book is, to be quite honest, pretty much a waste of time

unless you are simply reading it for the most shallow of entertainment purposes. The overall story was highly predictable, lacking any real surprises or twists that could have kept the reader engaged. Moreover, there were a couple of major plot holes that remained unresolved throughout the entire book, which really annoyed me

. The main character, too, isn't particularly sympathetic or likeable. I find myself getting bugged by books where people lie to each other, fall in love, don't come clean about the lie, and then get exposed and their relationship falls apart until they eventually make up. It all seems so clichéd and unoriginal

. However, despite all its flaws, it was still an okay book for what it is. It might not be a literary masterpiece, but it could provide some light entertainment for those who don't expect too much from their reading material.

Thirty-year-old Ann Roth, an entertainment reporter, finds herself fired from her job in Hollywood. The reason? She lacks the so-called "killer instinct" required to land an interview with a reclusive movie star. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when Ann discovers that the very star has secretly been admitted to a hospital in her hometown in the Midwest due to cardiac issues. Seizing this opportunity, Ann decides to volunteer as a candy striper. Her plan is to get up close and personal with the star, hoping to prove to her former boss that she indeed has what it takes to be a successful reporter.

This story is a delightful blend of humor, quirkiness, and heartwarming moments. From the very beginning, it hooks the reader and keeps them engaged until the end. It's a story that shows how determination and a bit of creativity can lead to unexpected opportunities. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for an entertaining and uplifting read.

Dumb, but oddly satisfying.

This simple phrase seems to capture a rather unique experience. It implies something that may lack intelligence or sophistication on the surface, yet still manages to bring a sense of contentment or fulfillment.

Perhaps it refers to a task that is straightforward and uncomplicated, but when completed, it gives a strange sense of satisfaction. Maybe it's a hobby or activity that doesn't require a high level of mental acuity, but still provides enjoyment.

It could also describe a relationship or interaction that is not overly deep or complex, but still makes one feel good. In a world that often values intelligence and complexity, it's interesting to note that there are still things that can be dumb, yet oddly satisfying.

These simple pleasures can sometimes be the most overlooked, but they have the power to bring a smile to our faces and a sense of peace to our minds.

I just finished reading this wonderful book that I borrowed from the library.

It is a romantic comedy, which is exactly the kind of light reading that I needed to unwind and have some good fun.

The story was filled with charming characters and a heartwarming plot that kept me engaged from beginning to end.

The author did a great job of creating a world that was both believable and full of magic.

I found myself laughing out loud at some of the humorous scenes and rooting for the main characters to find their happily ever after.

This book was a perfect escape from the stress of daily life and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable read.

**Re-Read 14 years later and still loved it!**

4.5/5

I was browsing the Chick Lit section in the library when this book caught my eye with its charming cover. I immediately checked it out and devoured it within 24 hours. I was completely captivated by the cute story it told, and it truly solidified my love for Chick Lit. This book had such an impact on me that I knew I wanted to own it and add it to my bookshelf. Years later, I finally got the chance to re-read it, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I still loved it just as much as I did the first time. The characters were still as endearing, the plot was still as engaging, and it brought back all the warm and fuzzy feelings I had when I first read it. It's amazing how a book can have such a lasting effect and continue to bring joy and entertainment even after all these years.
