Once I got past the ridiculousness of Kate's high-school grudge towards Jake, I truly enjoyed this book. I don't care who you are, I think everyone can relate to SOMETHING in this book on a personal level. Everyone has known hurt in one way or another and how we deal with it...well, sometimes the results are quite comical. I found myself yelling at Kate, laughing at her, feeling sorry for her, and sometimes even crying with her. I enjoyed DEDICATION because it took me on a ride of emotions. I wanted to hate the book because the premise of hunting down a high school love to prove him wrong years later was, I thought, completely absurd. Instead, I found myself loving it and not wanting to admit it.

Once again, filled with girly drama, this chick lit book did not fail to provide me with awful characters that I just loved to hate. Rachel, codependent queen, and Darcy, human wrecking ball, provided a few hours of entertainment for me. I can't wait to read the story from Darcy's side.

I've been reading some fun books lately and this falls into that category.
I didn't think I would like this book, but I really did. Once again, it is typical chick lit with the stupid girl unable to stand up for herself. What I loved the most about this book, though, was it made me want to shred it, throw it, stomp on it, and burn it. Any book that makes me feel any kind of strong emotion is fun in my world.

I was expecting this to be as funny as Stephanie Plum, but sadly, it wasn't. I have been told not to give up though as they get funnier. So, I haven't given up on Bubbles yet. While there *were* funny moments, because I went in with expectations, I was disappointed. It was, however, a quick, easy read.

Queen of Babble was a bit odd, actually. Enjoyable, but odd. Completely unrealistic, yet at times it does have realistic moments. Lizzie takes off to London to be with her boyfriend of three months (whom I believe she has only seen once). Things, predictably, don't go as planned and chaos reigns! Of course, Lizzie eventually meets her true love but it isn't without a struggle. I'm so glad I don't live in Lizzie's world.
