Summary: A cute quick read
Review: Clare Naylor definitely entertains with this book. Amy goes through a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the entire story that keep you interested. Very cute, funny, and a nice quick read.

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: I had heard good things about the author but this particular book was really disappointing. The lead character is shallow and unlikable and the author's tendency to address the reader in the first person became very annoying. The plot had potential but it certainly wasn't realized in this flimsy novel.

Summary: Cute
Review: Really cute story. Very light reading, and very silly stuff. But enjoyed every minute of this story about a girl who is very young, smart and beautiful (sigh!) and yet doesn't yet know how to act around more sophisticated people, or placate difficult bosses. I didn't find it as hilarious as some of the other reviewers as I've heard so many of those jokes and references before that they're just plain tired and cliched, to the point where sometimes I felt embarrassed for the author. (Maybe it's my age.) That didn't stop me from reading it through, though, or passing it to my friends. Just for fun.

Summary: The Title is Deceiving. The Premise Shallow and Self-Serving
Review: I picked up this book after both Bridget Jones books which I enjoyed immensely. It seemed like a great premise for a book, ordinary girl gets extraordinary movie star. What girl wouldn't want a fantasy like that? The only problem was the leading lady. Amy starts out as being very down on herself, TOO down on herself! It gets excruciating to read just how horrible she thinks she is. Yet she continually gets men in the book, its not like she's some sort of toad. By the end of the novel she not only thinks TOO highly of herself, but the narrator who started out with her being an ordinary girl starts to describe her as this incredible beauty. So there goes the original premise of the story. Not believeable at all! To top it all off the poor leading man in this story should have ditched the egotistical self serving girl by the end of this book instead of sticking with her. Girl gets incredible handsome movie star. Girl instead fantasizes about his onscreen character. Give me a break! Great just isn't good enough for this girl. And her horrible flatmates, how she went from being cinderella to the stepsisters to being best friends with them again I'll never know. That part was just glossed right over. I finished the book to see if there was anything redeeming about it and was not very happy when I was done. It could have been done SO much better. Two Stars for a great story idea that could have been much more.

Summary: Next!
Review: This book was totally unbelievable, and I mean that in the bad way. The only reason I read it was because of the wonderful reviews, and I was very disappointed. Of course, I wasn't expecting too much from a book with a cartoon drawing on the cover, but I didn't think it would be written for a 12-year old reading level either. I'm giving it two stars because somehow, I managed to finish it.

Summary: I'd give it 0 stars if that was possible
Review: I bought this book because of the glowing reviews and was utterly dissappointed. The year's only half over but I would definitely put this down as one of the worst reads of the year. The characters are all one-dimensional and the storyline completely uninteresting. I can't understand all the five-star reviews--what did I miss?

Summary: How to ruin a love affair in one simple step...
Review: Amy, a hapless fashion assistant, longs to fall in love--really fall in love. Unfortunately for her, she also longs for fame. So when she meets Orlando, a genuine film star, and he falls for her, she is more taken by her shot at fame (the reflected glow from him) than she is by Orlando himself. Like most romantic comedy novels, this makes us groan in disgust at Amy's naivete. But, again like most romantic comedy novels, we know that a happy ending is in sight. Short and snappy, the novel might have been even more amusing had it really explored the shallow world of fashion in which Amy works--a world that has almost certainly led to her own initial shallowness. Amusing yet predictable, this is an easy, light read, perfect for the plane. Although "Love: A User's Guide" is funny, with fun characters, it is never as involving as, say, "Confessions of a Shopaholic."
Rating: 
Summary: Couldn't Put It Down
Review: I just got very wrapped up in this book & I read it in one afternoon. Personally, I have always fantized about being with a star....same with Amy. They she meets one! You will just have to read the bood to see what happens next!

Summary: Good, but tried too hard
Review: I have been thoroughly enjoying the brit book invarion, but this one just didnt really get me. It was good, and I will read it again ( I do that. ) But I think there are better out there.
Rating:
Summary: Light and quite funny
Review: A little hard to believe really. Try's to capture the Helen Feilding thing but a bit too fairy tale for my liking. I liked her flat monters, truely horrible and I wish they would have shown up more, as other than that it was a bit bland character wize. Predictable, from about the second page, of course her sordid sessions with the photographer would catch up with her. Sad her lesbian liason didnt create a stir also, in fact I don't know why she put that bit in at all, it was as though she was going to bring it in at some point, but forgot about it. Her writing style was good in parts, the star crossed lovers tale, using a Shakesperian tone,was cute, and a highlight. But apart from that, this is Mills and Boon stuff and nothing to get too excited about.
