Jack With A Twist: Engaging Your Adversary And Other Things They Don't Teach You In Law School (Brooke Miller, #2) (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
At times I thought Brooke came off as an bubbly airhead instead of someone with law degree. I would have much preferred her to be more independent and less dependent at times. However, the book did serve its purpose which a light,funny and easy read. The story was very entertaining and some of Brooke's thoughts had me laughing out loud. I was happy that this story had the much expected happy ending! This year, when I got my review, my boss gave me the "good deal" sandwich, with positive reviews to start and end with, and mixed things in the middle. Let's start with some positive things. This book is a cute summer read, something you don't have to spend too much time focusing on at the beach. At times it's hysterical, and it's a great counterpoint to those days when your boyfriend/significant other is driving you insane, and you want some sympathy. The family interactions between the family of the bride and groom were great, and made for some extremely funny moments. In counterpoint, I felt that this book was "Sex in the City" meets "Ally McBeal." If you're the type of person who loves those types of shows, then this book is great, but to anyone else, I wouldn't recommend it. I often felt as though the characters were too two-dimensional to relate to, and the groom himself was slowly driving me insane with his passive-agressive behavior, (emphasis on the passive.) I would expect that as lawyers, the bride and groom would both have more backbone than they exhibited throughout the entire story. I might have felt more in tune with the characters if I had read the first book in the series first, but otherwise, I had a hard time connecting emotionally. All in all, a cute quick beach read, definitely fun when you're in the mindset for it, but really not meant for everyone.

I didn't realize this was a second book. It works well as a stand alone book.
