It was fine...didnt feel committed either way -- it wasnt as polished as the other books it mimics and I never felt like the characters were developed enough for me to care THAT much. I finished it though and it was fine.

Not such a great story. Trouble getting into the book and I didn’t like the writing style. E.g. Patrick’s nickname was Paddy, but that name was also used in the narrative writing style instead of only used by the characters.

It’s not exactly Shakespeare or even very good chick lit…. But it was fine. Entertaining enough.

Read this in my late twenties and loved it, in my 50’s not so much

entertaining but again.. not very memorable story. the all similar plot of chic lit... cute girl being chasen by a hunk, cute girl have to prove how much she posessed girl power first, but in the end it's all falalala happy ending.. :)

Alice is dumped by Jamie. She runs in to an old friend and joins her in LA. New job, new life, new men... Then a "stalker" leaves her love tokens. Is he dangerous or the man of her dreams?
Cute story.

It was hard getting into this book, the writing was all over the place. The main character Alice was portrayed as a sloppy, drunk fat chick. I thought she was better than that. Alice could not think for herself. What was very irritating about this book was the unrealistic events. Alice is in LA and runs into her ex from London. Her current boyfriend finds her in NY in Central Park. Lisette and Simon are engaged within 22hrs of meeting each other. Really!!What I did like was the sweetness of Alice and Paddy together.

Alice has recently lost her boyfriend, her place to live, and her job. Crashing at her cousins' while he is out of town, she is spending her time fielding his long lone of cast aside females who keep calling and dropping by. Everyone else's lives seem to be better than her. One day while out Alice runs into Tash, her former roommate from school who lives in LA now. Tash sweeps Alice off to LA and throws her into her glamours life. Alice gets a job in PR and Tash sets her up on a date. Someone has other plans for Alice though as she has a secret admirer. An admirer who some of her new friends think is a stalker and are jealous of, but Alice thinks it is just kind of romantic, at least right now.

A few places I have read said that this is a re-imagination of Alice in Wonderland. I didn't really see that, but maybe it is because I haven't read Alice in Wonderland and am only familiar with the movies, those I don't see as much in this plot.

This was really kind of a fish out of water story in my opinion. Alice is thrown in really the deep end of LA. Tasha works in film and they all end up going to dinners and on dates with others in the movie industry. Alice doesn't know the social etiquette and makes some mistakes. She makes her own way and chooses who and what she wants to do. Even when she is pulled the other way by her friends.

Fun and entertaining.

Kind of a silly book.

This book was completely different then what I normally gravitate to. It was a cute book...silly things happen to Alice...things that really don't seem like real life to me, but it is a book, right? The ending was lacking....I think even just one more chapter would have gotten all the loose ends tied up....I know, I know....that is what a cliffhanger is, but I really felt like it should have had a bit more.
