Hilarious and heartbreaking, combining the emotional incisiveness of Jane Austen with the up-to-the-minute frankness of "Sex and the City," The Big Love will be the pass-along must-read novel for years to come.

"This is a sweet story of a woman who is dumped at her own dinner party and the aftermath of that dumping. The boyfriend comes back, but thankfully, she realizes that his crawling back wasn't enough. It wasn't what she wanted and she moves on. The open-ended ending makes me feel hopeful for her."

    " Boring, uninteresting, vapid and shallow chic lit about a young woman dealing with the aftermath of a break up with her live in boyfriend. The characters were unappealing, the storyling very boring, and the writing mediocre. The only interesting aspect of the book is the main character's struggle with her strict Christian upbringing and how it relates to her current dating. "

    " I really liked this book. It was an easy read and the author hit on a lot of things that I saw in my own life. It's a great read if you aren't looking for anything too in-depth. Just something to lose yourself in. Great for a summer day at the beach! :) "

    " This is definitely a chick lit book. I read it probably as quickly as I read "He's Just Not That Into You" many years ago and really it seems to follow a lot of the same themes. I was an easy read and I have to admit, I enjoyed it. "

    " okay, it's not Tolstoy. but it is perfect summertime reading. delightful romantic comedy about a formerly evangelical Christian woman trying to make her way in the world of dating and sex while carrying around the baggage of her upbringing. "

    " I picked up this book at Costco while on Easter Holiday! It was a good book, I kept waiting for something fabulous to happen. I did keep reading it, it held my interest. I liked the way it ended. It was the author's first book, I will probably read her next book, as well! "

    " It's a breezy, engaging readable bit of chick lit. Funny, clever, highly readable. Some funny observations along the way. But it's the lightest of light. I'd call it perfect beach reading or a nice way to wind down a tiring day. "
