Playing hard to get took a new turn!!!: "Asking for Trouble" is a wonderful read. The things this girl does to appease her nagging mother are amazing. And the fact that she completely blows off the guy she is madly in love with is crazy!!! I definitely recommend this book for a good laugh and an even better ending.
what a tangled web we weave.......: well, i was pretty disappointed for the first 300 pages or so. then, i couldn't put the book down. it was very slow at first with a very wordy dialogue. however, when i got through about 3/4's of the book, it picked up like a whirlwind and proved to be a lot of fun and worth trudging through til the end. sophy started with a simple "fib" to keep her mum happy.....and then it spiraled out of control. she couldn't stop the charade and it finally stopped her. it was a bit much with all of the sidestepping she and josh did throughout(for a LONG time). i was happy with the last 1/4 of the plot. the ending made it fun. her sister, belinda, had a great twist. and......blood is thicker than water. don't let the slow, wordy beginning stop you from finishing this read.
Long chapters BUT great read: ... The main character, Sophy, creates the perfect boyfriend so her mom will stop harassing her. Well, the lie gets out of control and Sophy decides to hire an escort to accompany her at her sister's wedding. Once Sophy and Josh (or should I call him "Dominic?") get to the wedding you wont be able to put the book down. Sophy and Josh compliment each other so well you'd think they were a real couple...even though her nerves seem a bit out of hand. Once you get to the wedding events the book really speeds up. Turned out to be a great read after all!
Fun read, worth the money!: I usually stick to the authors I know, afraid to spend the money on someone I'm unfamiliar with, but this was a great read! I read it in one day. I just could not put it down. Let my mother borrow it and she loved it too. No comparison to Bridget Jones, much much better. I'd love to find more fun books from Elizabeth Young!
A Fun Beach book: As the book unfolds Sophy becomes a more complex character. Ther reasons for her need to rearrange the truth become more clear as the story progresses. As a reader you will want the best for her. And in the end, she gets it as she turns into a woman strong enough to face the truth. A fast read that you won't want to put down.
