You Are Viewing Summer Reads

Last summer I had the privilege of being featured in Woman’s World magazine’s “Best of…Beach Reads” article and this year they’ve contacted me on behalf of Chick Lit Reviews to share another fantastic summer read! I’m quite excited, especially as I was able to share one of my favorite reads this year, What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. There are also a number of other fantastic Chick Lit sites mentioned as well as some of my other favorite books this season, so take a look:

Just in case you can’t quite read it, here you go:
“To Laugh Out Loud:
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
Danielle Smith of Chick Lit Reviews.com promises you won’t be able to put this fun read down. “It’s the hilarious story of 39-year-old Alice, who, after getting bumped on the head, wakes up thinking she’s 29 years old and doesn’t remember having three kids or that she’s going through a divorce. It’s about everything that matters: family, friends, marriage - and did I mention it’s really funny?”"

I’d like to thank Kristina, the Special Features Editor at Woman’s World magazine for contacting me for this fantastic interview!

For more info about What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty take a look at my review posted just yesterday! To pick up a copy of this issue of Woman’s World magazine look for it on Newsstands in the US until this Wednesday!

Recently I had the opportunity of being interviewed by Woman’s World magazine for their “Best of…Beach Reads” feature. This was quite an honor as the magazine has a reader base close to 10 million and is featured on newsstands all over the US. So, needless to say, when they contacted me I was ecstatic! The issue was published on June 24th, and I was also sent an image of the actual article to share with our readers here at Chick Lit Reviews. Enjoy!

Just in case you can’t quite read it, my feature is the 4th one in and says the following:
A Powerful Story of Friendship:
Between Friends by Kristy Kiernan - Danielle Smith of ChickLitReviews.com “really connected” with this story of two best friends. “While most ‘chick lit’ is too fashion oriented for me,” she says, “this novel deals with compelling issues we can all relate to, like marriage, fertility and adult female friendship. I also love that it strikes a great balance between sad stuff and moments that make you laugh out loud.“

For more about my feelings about Between Friends by Kristy Kiernan take a look at my review posted not too long ago.

At her best friend’s wedding, Angela walks in on her long-term boyfriend Mark cheating on her with someone on the back seat of their car. Nice. So she does what any self-respecting woman would do - flees… not just the wedding, but the country as well! Angela ends up in New York City with no friends, no money and no job.

But she soon makes friend with hotel receptionist Jenny and she’s determined to put a smile back on Angela’s face. Cue a LOT of spending in Bloomingdale’s, getting drunk and meeting a couple of hunks along the way too. Angela also lands her dream job of being a writer - it seems everything is going right for her at last. But despite blogging her romance ups and downs, can Angela figure out which man is right for her? Does she heart NYC more than home?
