Review: Couldn't Finish It

I tried to like this book. The opening pantyhose scene showed so much promise, but unfortunately, at least to this reader, there was no delivery. All the characters acted like teenagers - or rather like spoiled children - and I failed to find them engaging or funny. The humor bordered on bathroom, with a lot of sexual jokes. Lucy was just too klutzy to be believable - for her own safety and for the general public at large she should have been banned from wearing heels, because every time she put them on, she fell in a most destructive, dangerous and humiliating way. That got old real fast.The other off-putting thing was the grammar. I should have quit when I read the word queue when "cue" was certainly intended. I should have quit when I read the sentence "Her and Scott went to the airport early." I kept plugging away though, until I realized that I felt like I was watching a train wreck.Read the sample before purchasing! The opening with the pantyhose is by far the best that I read. If you are still engaged at the end of the sample, then perhaps you will enjoy the book. You get a good sense of the characters at the end of the first chapter and through the second chapter. Just because I gave up doesn't mean you won't enjoy it. We are all different.
