Good book but I have rarely disliked a main character more

This book is a lot like The Diary of Bridget Jones. Funny thing is, I find myself reading this book with a British accent in my head. It was a cute book, but Rebecca is annoying as hell. I will probably read the rest of the series though, just because I adore Luke Brandon.

I really enjoyed this book. I've been meaning to get into more adult books and start reviewing them but I always end up pushing this one back on my list. When I found it at the library I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it since I could always just not finish. As I started reading however I quickly grew hooked and I was looking forward to finding out how Rebecca fixed her financial problems.
Quite a few times however I found myself shaking my head at how Rebecca handled things. If only she had done things differently, maybe things wouldn't have gotten so bad for her. At times it seemed like proper actions weren't taken against Rebecca just so the story could go on and I found myself thinking that certain things wouldn't work like that in the real world. Her antics and schemes to fix her money troubles did have me laughing though and I couldn't believe all of the trouble she went through.
Rebecca was hilarious. I really enjoyed being able to see the things that went on inside the woman's brain because they were ridiculous. Even though she seemed to be scatter brained a lot of the time Rebecca is quite smart when she applies herself and I love that in characters.
Of course everything worked itself out in the end and she even hooked up with a swoony guy (which I saw coming from the beginning). I can't wait to see what situations Rebecca gets herself into in the following books and I will hopefully be getting to them soon.

To be honest, this book is hilarious, but God it's just sooooooooo embarrassing that I can feel myself blushing over her actions. And that's why I DNFed it. I think I will read it again but maybe when I'm at the age where the feeling embarrass doesn't exist.

A lovely book to read.
I think we all have a little of Rebecca Bloomwood inside of us. We all like to lie to ourselves.
It’s a fun and fast book to read.
Don’t hesitate !

Not bad, not great. Granted it is a light read chick lit book, but it is so popular, I was expecting more. Truthfully, the main character grated on me after a while. Found myself skimming to get to the end
