Review: A Fun Bit of Fluff and Flounce!
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 22, 2012
Phone Kitten was enjoyable, and the "phone sex hook" was amusing and rated PG.  I would have rated it a 3.5 star, but I couldn't buy into her sleuthing techniques at all, and felt her actions were unrealistic, but I finally just got into the story and didn't worry about the realism.  That made the book an enjoyable read and I also liked her friendship with the gay men.Emily calls herself a "chub," a bigger girl who has gone through life invisible to most people. She has lost 30 pounds, and guys seem to find her attractive, but she has the chub self-image and is overly concerned about her appearance. I didn't like the negativity surrounding her weight, and truthfully felt it was way overblown. A 30 lb. weight gain would not elicit that reaction from most men I know. I got tired of obsessing about it.When she is fired from her job, she takes a job as a phone sex operator where her sultry and sexy voice seems to give her an advantage despite her lack of experience with men. When one of her rather obnoxious steady clients ends up murdered, she decides to try and solve the case on her own and in the process, reveals quite a lot about the kind of people that spend money on phone sex. Basically, Emily is a decent human being and people do respond to that quality.I probably won't read any more from this author, but I felt the book was worth my time.
