 - Cute, Fun, Quirky - Entertaining!I found the characters to be so life like - it made the novel even more entertaining. You just want Alison to be happy and wake up and smell the coffee. Everyone in high school had that one girl that made them feel inadequate and in this book that is Pepper. What a likey name for a stuck up princess. I really liked the book! Rating: - An Unabashed FanI've loved Liz Ireland for years. The characters in this novel are completely believable to me, especially Pepper (the villainess). And I found Alison to be adorable. This book and Charmed I'm Sure are my favorites by this author, whose new books I never miss out on. Rating: - REALLY REALLY GOODThis book is way above and beyond all the other chick lit out there. I've been a big reader all my life but have found myself bored lately, hard to grab my attenion. This book hit all the right notes - kept me turning the pages all the way through. This is an author to keep an eye on! Rating: - Loved it!I had my eye on this book for awhile but I just recently purchased from Amazon. I'm so glad that I did. I won't recount the plot since other reviewers have already but the book was never boring for me and I read it an afternoon. Alison is a great character and Liz Ireland wrote it so you do root for Alison and want the best for her in the end. Liz Ireland also does a great job of creating characters so you know who to root for and for who not to root for. The title does make you think of something different than what the book actually is but the phrase "How I stole her husband" does tie in with what happened to Alison in the book-you'll just have to read it to find out how. I would definitely recommend this book to any chick-lit reader. In the future, I will definitley be reading more of Liz Ireland's books. Rating:  - Awesome book! Don't be swayed by the title!Alison Bell is anything but ordinary. Down on her luck, she is forced to take a job as a nanny working for former classmate and boyfriend stealer, Pepper. While working as the Smith's Nanny, Alison develops a special relationship with their daughter August and with her former boyfriend Spence who is now Pepper's husband! After a move to New York City, the story really starts to pick up and show its true colors. What unravels is an intricate story full of past grudges, past and present loves and the desire to be accepted. A charming, light-hearted read for any woman! In association with Amazon.com | |
