This was a cute, lighthearted book that delves into the life of a craigslist addict, and how craigslist got her through her life so far.. Someone who does everything from looking for places to find entertainment for the night, to dates, to selling and buying things. She even decided to become a escort for a brief, and I do mean brief, time. The story was well thought out and pretty realistic when it comes to life struggles, from finding a roommate, to the perfect man. It gets a little unbelievable towards the end, where the main character has a sudden … experience...to say for lack of spoilers, that is very less than true to life, more like dumb luck, but more than that, it’s like all authors feel the need to show that everyone has a happy ending. I don’t like it when authors conform to the ‘the world is perfect’ viewpoint most books have, but, that’s just my pessimist breaking through.The book needs some serious editing, she’s repeated the same exact line 3-4 times a couple times, and is HYPHEN-CRAZY...hyphenating words that shouldn't be hyphenated, like every-one, or some-thing, disappoint-ted. Aside from that, a few spelling errors, and a few words left out or in the wrong order in sentences, and it was a pretty good read. there wasn't a LOT of spelling errors, so it didn't make it difficult to read, and I only had to reread a few sentences because of the wording, so it wasn't terrible in that aspect either.All in all I’d give the book 4 stars. If she got some good editing, Alexandra Ares could make a pretty good chick-lit author.
