Not fun and whimsical like expected. Timeline doesn't appear to be 50 weeks nor even what I would consider to be "dates."

This book was a little slow to start, but ramps up and keeps you hooked to the end! I felt like the ending was a bit quick to wrap up, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Couldn't put it down.

This was a nice, quick read, but had too many characters and not enough depth to the story line.

Takes a long time to get going as the main character is pretty depressed and almost whiney. Just as I was ready to give up on it, the book finally kicked off and had a nice story.

Quick read, beautiful writing with many expertly-penned lines that enhance the reader's feeling and understanding of the history of love. I enjoyed it and definitely recommend it.

Loved it! Witty writing and hilarious style that captures the essence of being single. Gave me laughs that proved others (beside myself and my friends) deal with these issues and understand them. Interesting insight on singleness around the world and what we can learn from other cultures.

Very enjoyable read. Even if you've watched the tv show, the show is not en exact replica of the book. You'll still enjoy reading the 'real thing.'

This is by far the worst James Patterson book I've ever read. The story line had great potential to be good, but the author throws in too many "twists" and "game changers" to where the plot becomes unbelievable. I was rolling my eyes through the entire book.


Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Review Date: 6/22/2015


I was surprised to find this book is written in a narrative style, which makes a complicated topic interesting to read.

Loved this book. Really dark/creepy story line by the author does a great job of building the characters and letting the reader infer before unveiling the truth at the end.

This is the second book of Clark's I've read. This one didn't disappoint to keep me engaged and entertained. Only down side is that she uses a lot of characters. Make sure you pay attention to each character or you will be left confused at the end.
