Summary: Funny!!!
Review: ... this book still gave me belly laugh after belly laugh. Just when you thought poor "Francie" couldn't dig herself any deeper, she gets herself into another scrape. That was actually my favorite section of the book. But she does make a success of things in the end and it's certainly fun to watch how she evolves. (There's a really funny section at the end of the book, too, with Holly Grace and her boyfriend.)

Summary: Slow starter but worth continuing!
Review: Admittedly this might not be SEP's best book in terms of wit and fast pace, it is starting out really slow but it is picking up and is getting more and more interesting. It is different from all her later books maybe because it is focusing much more on character and less on snappy dialogue one is so used to in her other books. I therefore found it profounder and it had me so hooked I couldn't stop reading. If you give it a chance and don't get impatient with the slow start you might actually find out that it is one of SEP's most special stories.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: After devouring all of SEP's other books, I had this one on order for over a month. I finally received it, settled down and was thoroughly disappointed. Icouldn't get into it, it was very slow moving, the story unbelievable and the cat fight where everyone stood around watching was uncalled for. I was really disappointed. Sorry.

Summary: I laughed, I cried, and I LOVED this book
Review: As I was reading this book, I kept telling myself, poor Francesca's life can't possibly go any further down the tubes. But low and behold, she just gets deeper and deeper. I laughed and I cried BIG buckets, and the tears are well worth the the time and effort to read this book!I couldn't believe how strongly emotional I became involved in this story. One thing I have learned since this intro into SEP's works is that all of her books will make you feel the same rollercoaster of emotions that this one inspires. I know I haven't given much detail as to this particular story, but trust me, If I got started I dont think I would be able to sum up what I would say without giving too much away. Francesca and Dallie have one of the rockiest relationships that end up as one of the most endearing couples I can remember. Be sure to read "Lady Be Good" after this one. It picks up with two new characters that lead off from Dallie and Francesca's story. MS. Phillips---if you ever write another book, please, PLEASE give us Theodore's story!

Summary: Fanct Pants was another S. E. Phillips great read!
Review: As with all S.E. Phillips books it was humourous with realistic characters. I was not dissapointed.

Summary: Fancy Pants
Review: Don't buy this book! It was sooooo boring and I couldn't get into it. A real let down after SEP's other books - try First Lady, Nobody's Baby But Mine or Dream A Little Dream instead. At least they have some zap and keep you interested...Fancy Pants on the other hand sent me to sleep zzzzzzzzzz! SORRY!

Summary: Fantastic!!!
Review: Even though I thought this was slow off the starting block, it turned out to be a fantastic read, re-read & re-read as well as listening to the book on tape. These individuals seemed like real people-not characters in a book and I could identify with them. I loved Dallie & Francie and their son Teddy and their relationships with each other. I loved the secondary characters too. I really liked Holly Grace & Gerry's story. I pick up this book about once a month and read it just because it is such a "feel good" story.

Summary: Warning - a very "80's" book...
Review: Everyone knows SEP is a good writer, able to come up with interesting characters from wildly disparate backgrounds who somehow get together, but this book is not one of her greats. First off, it suffers what I consider an "80's disease" - a Sidney Sheldon/Judith Krentz - like obsession with designer names, foreign princes, descriptions of yachts, and lots of pre-AIDS catting around. Secondly, its characters are not all that endearing: our heroine is obsessed with looks, money, and success, and our hero is obsessed with bimbos and failure. He neglects to tell her he's married; she neglects to tell him she had his son. I had a hard time liking these people, wondering if it was worth the effort to sort through several relationships and lots of confusing flashbacks. I don't feel I'm giving away too much here--if you like SEP, you'll struggle through it anyway--I just wish someone had warned me what I was in for.

Summary: Her Worst
Review: Hated the characters, especially our hero(?). In real life he and his friend would have spent many years in prison for kidnapping. All SEP's other books are great.
