Summary: enjoyable lighthearted caper
Review: Upset with her boyfriend for caring for his music writing more than she, Jo leaves Dan figuring he would come after her after he pined away for her for awhile. However, Jo quickly learns that her body has not had time turn cold before he shacks with up with his neighbor Aisling.With no prospects and, horror of horrors, her father is now living with her, Jo decides to reengineer her personality, but only over the Internet. She creates a different Jo dubbed Sarah and soon exchanges email with Dan because she is a fan of his work. Jo realizes that her web of deception can only cause trouble, but like a drug addict she can't stop what she is doing. In fact she lives for her next fix, Dan's responses to her messages. Once the reader accepts that Jo is an "intelligent moron", they will enjoy this lighthearted caper. The story line is amusing due to a great secondary cast that brings vivid eccentric color to a neighborhood while either abetting, encouraging, or impeding Jo's endeavor. No one will feel remorse if they spend a few hours enjoying Jo's secret identity, as many in the audience would take immense delight in doing the same thing. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Second rate Bridget Jones
Review: Well, where to begin?
The thing is: after Bridget Jones, there were many copycats and this book is one of them. Enjoyable, yes, but way less than BJ. The heroine, Jo is not remotely as funny as Bridget and you just cannot feel yourself rooting for her.
The plot is very weak at times, the characters - not very deep and the end: very, very predictable.
Good summer read, you can finish it in two days. But I wouldn't really recommend it.
