Felipe Rezende felipereezende — The Good Stuff * This wasn't my cup of tea guys, but don't let my review affect you too much as she is a fantastic writer, and I have read many fantastic reviews of the book, but I just couldn't get into it * Bitingly funny at times * Well written and the story flows nicely told between modern day and flash backs * Author is outstanding at making you see the character she is describing, I felt like I really knew the characters even if I didn't like them * A extremely realistic portrayal of many families during the 70's * Emery is an interesting character and I really felt for him The Not so Good Stuff * The parents are so narcissistic and just bloody awful parents, that they really turned me off from getting into the story. In fact most of the characters were just genuinely unlikeable, which makes is hard for me personally get into a novel Favorite Quotes/Passages "Portia begins speaking for the cat, saying what she believes Maggie Bucks is thinking. Emery, who is sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper, assumes that Portia is giving her a cartoon-like Asian accent because the cast is Siamese." "What you do here, Connecticut Girl? Smoker Lady no here! Smoker Lady in hospital! You go home now! You go back to Greenwich! I no want you here, Connecticut Girl!" "The idea that her mother wouldn't have the same occupation as her friends' mothers enraged Anna. Who would have the nerve to give birth to children, move them into a house and declare that she wasn't going to take care of them? A drug-addicted hippie, Anna decided, that's who." What I Learned * That I was a kid during the 70's and I am so lucky that my parents didn't do any of the shit that these kids useless parents did Who should/shouldn't read * Not for me or for those with similar reading likes & dislikes * Better for a more educated reader who likes something a little more thought provoking * Bet ya my sister in law will love it -- we always have opposite reading tastes -- totally love her though!! * Please if you think this is something you might like, go for it, the writing is brilliant -- I'm just a simple girl who needs to find someone to really like and cheer for, for me to love 2.75 Dewey's (This is based on my personal experience with the book, not on the quality of the writing, which is exceptional) I received this book from HarperPerennial in Exchange for an honest review

Gaurav Toshniwal gauravtoshniwal — Rating Clarification: 3.5 Stars ...I’ve realized that the one person who could break my heart is the only one who should have it... Just the Sexiest Man Alive has made me an instant fan of Julie James, and I will definitely continue to explore other books by this author. Despite the fact that I had to put aside the predictable plot and twists, as well as convenient courtroom drama, I found myself giving the storyline the flexibility it needed to deliver this highly entertaining romantic comedy. Jason Andrews and Taylor Donovan make a great pair of main characters. I enjoyed their snarky dialog and together they were both witty and charming enough to have me laughing out loud at their antics and conversations. I really liked Taylors’s ruthless nature and Jason’s melodramatic movie star tantrums where slightly charming...don’t ask...it just worked for me.^^ In this story, Taylor Donovan is temporarily relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles to work on a high profile court case for her law firm. She’s ruthless and ambitious, as well as a promising contender for a partnership in her firm. But, her goals and career trajectory take a sudden halt when her leading attorney places her on the Andrew’s Project, which involves coaching an A-list movie star Jason to help him prepare for an upcoming court based movie. The office staff is star-struck by this recently voted Sexiest Man Alive star, but Taylor sees past his invincible layers to find someone she can't help but fall in love with. Awww... :P I can see how some fans of James were a bit disappointed in the conclusion of this story, seeing as Taylor’s final decision seemed a bit out of character (view spoiler), but I can’t say that I didn’t see that coming and again I found myself giving this book the leeway it needed to move the romance along. So I was okay with her final decision. I think I was in the mood for something light and fun, so that can account for my willingness to accept the flow of the storyline. So, overall I really enjoyed this romcom and I will definitely try other books by this author. Fun read that was perfect timing for my book mood.
