digital edition I read this for a challenge and confess I don't think I would have picked it up otherwise. It wasn't bad, it just didn't capture me. Four twenty-somethings are attending University of Connecticut Business School for different reason and you shift between their points of view so that each gets equal time. These four very different personalities meet and interact (often) on several level and exude normalcy and run of the mill. Kimmy is there to find a husband and an express lane to a cushier life but steps on her own feet a few times. Jaime is fighting against his appearance to make himself a more desirable life-mate and tries first with Kimmy. Layla is perfection on the outside but does have an unnatural obsession with germs and is socially aloof Russ is convinced leaving his girlfriend behind was the right move if he intends to take the business world by storm. The writing here is coherent and fine, the characters are fairly well developed and could possibly remind you of people in your current or previous life. It is a complete mind mint. A comfortable and predictable rainy day read that only asks the reader to enjoy.
Oof… this might be the worst one yet. This book, its plot, and all its characters were AWFUL. I wanted to rip my hair out with the turn of every page. I kept hoping for it to get better, but it never did. If anything, it only got worse. The only redeeming quality is Kimmy’s arc by the end. I’m more than ready to move on to this author’s YA novels… maybe I’ll have better luck there.
I read this as a Kindle edition, and it seemed much shorter than the listed 392 pages. Maybe because the story was so bad that I aimlessly turned pages without even realizing it?
Still doesn't compare to Milkrun (in my opinion). But I liked it a whole lot more than Fishbowl. It's funny. And when I read it, I felt like I could relate to the main character. I should read it again because it deals with these people in business school and all their experiences. And I'm a marketing major...so ya know. =)
This book was an easy read, very interesting and kept me laughing the whole time!! I really enjoyed it, and recommend it to those who love chick-lit! ;)
I didn't like this book. It was hard to connect to and the characters are kind of horrible.
-Kimmy: ridiculously insecure and feels the need to rely on man and her sexuality.
-Russ: Seems like a good guy, but is actually a grade A asshole. He also handles situations poorly, which is he's overall downfall.
-Layla: Obsessive compulsive and clueless. Her chapters were the most boring thing to read until probably the very end; this is the same time she begins to really feel like a character.
-Jamie: "Class Clown" with a sweet interior. I found him to be the most interesting and sadly we get the least amount of chapters from him.
