I'm a die-hard chick-lit lover, and this book is just so much fun...and not just giggle-type fun but the kind of book that gives you belly laughs and makes you really LAUGH OUT LOUD! I'd started reading humorous chick-lit after I read the Bridget Jones Diary books, but I didn't know if I would ever find books as funny as those. Happily, I was wrong. Riley Ford writes in the same style as the Bridget Jones books plus Sophie Kinsella (but with a bit more edge), and I absolutely love her books as they really satisfy that "chick-lit" urge. I first discovered Riley J Ford's books by reading Carpe DiEmily, which I absolutely loved, and I was so excited when this Simone series (the prequel to Carpe DiEmily) came out. I snapped it right up!This is a book for those people who want to have a good laugh and who want to escape and forget the worries and troubles of everyday life for a while. The main character of Simone is a funny, feisty redhead with a snarky wit and quirky outlook on life. She believes in true love but keeps getting her hopes dashed by dating the wrong guys. She's also totally irresponsible financially, and she admits she's oversexed. She swears like a truck driver, too, although there was more of that in Carpe DiEmily than this book. It's all of Simone's real-life quirks that make her so fun to read. She's not perfect, but that makes her relatable. We actually feel good about ourselves because we can never be as bad as she is (or at least some of us, ha, ha!)I think that both men and women will enjoy this laugh-out-loud romp with witty humor and a dash of romance that will warm your heart. Plus the sex scenes are pretty hot, too! As SImone would say: "Ooo-la-la!"Read and enjoy! This series is well worth the money.
