This book starts out with a sane, successful & happy woman. She goes bat s** t crazy when she finds out her husband had an affair. Only woman this ever happened to, right? She pulls herself together and then discovers he lied about how long the affair was going on. Again, who would have guessed this? She goes completely psycho in the opposite direction. On the very last page the author tries to make her sane, successful & happy again.
This book definitely had some funny LOL parts but I found most of it to be predictable. The entire time I’m picturing Drew Barrymore (or some Hollywood actress) star in this chick flick. If you are into chick flicks, by all means you will enjoy this book!
The author writes brilliant sentences and a really, really trite story. Her story lines in no way compares to her charming, witty dialogue. Let me know when she gets it together.
Summer read
So good. I ordered her earlier book when I finished this one.
This book starts off fast and fun. Then it meanders all over the place but it remains a fun read throughout.
This book had so many problems I don't know where to begin. The main character, Raney, is one of those super lawyers who is also the world's best mother. She is the (youngest) partner is a white shoe lawyer firm in NYC, regularly working 60+ hours a week while being able to attend to her fifteen-year-old twins every need. As an attorney, I can tell you this just doesn't happen in real life, unless someone has some help, none of which is explained here.There is also a problem with the time and simple math. When we meet Raney, she is thirty-seven years old, meaning she had her twins just before starting the best law school (her description). Equally impossible. Later, she says she started the firm when the twins were one year-old, meaning she was at least twenty-six at the time.Her husband Aaron is an entomologist and, equally improbably, writes a best seller about bugs. From there he goes on to have a successful show on PBS.Raney finds out that Aaron is cheating on her and decides to implode his life. She calls in six paralegals from her firm and asks them to preform illegal activities, such as identity theft and no one blinks an eye. This is supposed to be the funny part. It never comes close to suspended disbelief. Perhaps my favorite line from this part is Aaron complaining that her actions are harming his sponsors. PBS shows do not have sponsors.The book becomes a hard slog to continue from there. The biggest problem was I didn't care about any of the characters. This is not the light, funny beach book it is made out to be.
Can I give a 5 star rating for PART of a book?!? I was ALL-IN from page one of this book. The beginning was so fast, so awesome, with such manic intensity - I was like, this chick is BAD ASS! I TORE through the first quarter of this book. And then... meh. I guess we needed a bit of a breather because the first quarter of this book is one serious wild ride. It got back to it's intense awesomeness almost mid-way through, but then I felt it just got sappy and fizzled.I need a book about JUST the Raney Moore in the beginning. She is NO JOKE. High-powered attorney Raney Moore has it all. Shes partner at her law form, he husband is a famous bug guy, and shes got twin teenage girls who are the light of her life. She's wealthy, and can have anything she wants. But she already seems to have it all. Or so she thinks. When Raney finds out her life is not as perfect as she thought - in less than a split second she turns into a jilted-wife phsychopath - and goes balls-to-the-wall revenge-mode to destroy the cause of her pain. But may in fact destroy everything good in her life. You don't even see it coming. I was riveted by the endless access she has to everything you can imagine to carry out her plans. Money, researchers, cars, hackers.... you name it. Don't mess with Raney. You cross her and you will be in SERIOUS trouble.I read a lot of reviews that people didn't like the book because they hated Raney. I think some of the best books are when you have intense feeling for a character. Good OR bad. Raney was a character I couldn't get enough of. There's another almost equally manic scene in the middle where she is in a dressing room, and the crazy, intense Raney (with yet again, resources aplenty) returns and I am once again enthralled with her.But unfortunately, after about mid-way it just fell flat to me. A lot of the dialogue is hilarious. It's witty, fast and keeps your attention, but the rest of the story just wasn't what I wanted - what I craved. I wanted more Raney. I didn't want her to try to change herself, or be a better person. Eliza Kennedy shouldn't have written the old Raney as such an incredibly intense and off-kilter character because she made me fall for her - but then she took her away! (sad face)I'd kill for a prequel. To see Raney as she emerges into the person she was in the beginning of this book: her start at the law firm, her rise to Partner. Give me that Raney All. Day. Long.
