Review: A Fun Chick-Lit!

"The Other Boyfriend" is about a mature, independent woman, Sarah, who believes she is in love with a senior, Jeffrey, in a multi-level marketing company. However there are complications as Jeffrey is still tied into a relationship with his supposed former girlfriend and is unable to fully commit to Sarah. On the insistence of her friend, she seeks out the help of a very eligible bachelor, Mike, in an attempt to sway Jeffrey towards her.I found the novel takes on an exciting turn when Mike is introduced. I loved the chemistry between Sarah and Mike. Their `push-pull' relationship successfully draws the reader in. As their relationship develops, I found myself breezing through the novel with an eagerness to know what might become of it. The novel is largely set in Taipei which makes it quite relieving from the usual, common place Western or European backgrounds. The novel certainly contains a lot of light humour with comic relief provided by characters such as Sarah's mother, who I particularly loved the most. For those who are chick-lit fans, you will certainly enjoy reading "The Other Boyfriend".
