To say that this book played me like a rock star toying with his skank-faced goupie is an understatement. Hazel is living the dream. THE DREAM every fangirl would die for. And as a fangirl I can't help but identify with her. It was like this book was telling me that hey, rabid fangirl, you, this ...
I didn't like all the "Forty is the new F word" comments. If the author feels that being 39 means you are old and your life is over, I feel bad for her. I guess she thought it would be comedic, but instead I felt she was slapping me in the face with each "quote" at the beginning of each chapter t...
Kargman's book is as lightweight and frothy as the foam on cappuccino, and just as delicious and short-lasting. Her story of an almost-40 muse of a famous artist, now facing some harsher realities.is a very fun read. The situations move quickly, the descriptions of NYC life are fun, and the boo...

I'm Kira Parker,...

Hedgefund 14 “Marriage is a three-ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.” The first day of school, heart pounding, I walked beside a skipping Miles, eager to see his friends, as I cringed, wishing I had a Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak. But I couldn’t hide; I had to ...
Or whether he has, like, full bondage outfits and whips and chains in his closet. Four smiley Aussies can’t all be perfect and peachy—one of them has to have some serious skellies in there. Then I think, okay, gun to my head, with certain death if I don’t pick one, which Wiggle would I bang if fo...
