Pure chick lit, frothy fun.

I really didn't like this book very much. The story is written with a lot of British references that were hard to follow. The characters were okay but nothing great. The story was written in the third person which is usually very enlightening, but not in this case. It seemed as if there was someone trying to narrate the story that wanted to be funny, but failed. I skipped so many long written sections that did nothing to add to the story that I probably only read half the book, and still missed nothing.

awful. waste of my time.

girl meets famous boy. girl and boy have a whirlwind romance. girl and boy think it will lead to something more. boy finds girl and boy on the frontpage of a newspaper. boy accuses girl. girl gets angry. girl leaves. fame goes to girl's head. boy tricks girl into coming back to him. boy and girl (presumably) live happily ever after...

really predictable, but a fun read...

i liked the story but the way the author has of addressing the reader in the middle of a paragraph about whatever is happening to amy and orlando was really disconcerting and pulled me out of the fantasy that it was a real story and i was involved in it and not something i was just watching unfold.

I'm only giving it 2 stars b/c i finished it. I had to b/c I'm reading an a-z list and this my 3rd N author book. I couldn't finish the other two books. This one gets two stars by default.
The characters were shallow, the plot was shallow, and I got lost in the writers point of view. Sometimes it seemed like it was written in 2nd point of view and sometimes 3rd point of view. I often had to re-read something b/c I got lost or actually lost interest and couldn't follow along.
I thought this would be a quick British chic-lit read and it took way too long.
I hope the author reads the reviews and learns from them.

I know I read this book and I liked it, but I am unable to come up with why I liked it!

It was hard to me to find into this story. I didn't like the book at the beginning and had to force myself to keep reading. But it got (a bit) better.
I didn't really like the Amy-character and her obsession for good press-coverage. Orlando on the other hand seemed likable, I always pictured Orlando Bloom in his role (I couldn't help it, since this name is not so common).

In the end I asked myself why Clare Naylor chose this title?? It's not a guide at all!!

UGH!! This novel makes me want to stay away from chick lit books from now on. The title should have been Lust: A User's Guide.

Basically, simple Amy meets and falls in love (or lust, since all they do is have sex) with this hot, divorced actor Orlando Rock. The conflict in this story is the green-eyed monster that takes over Amy when she sees a picture of her actor prince charming with his foxy co-star.

The way I see it, Amy just wants to become famous herself; she's practically begging for everyone to notice her. This is the first time I've read a story wherein I really hate the main character.

Made it almost 100 pages in, and to me, that’s quite a feat. The writing was flowery and hard to read, and there wasn’t enough dialogue. Just an endless cycle of Amy’s stupid thoughts that made not a bit of sense.

Wow, this was awful. Even now, years later, I'm resentful of the time I spent on this book that I'll never get back.
