Naked Brunch by Sparkle Hayter
2.0
Took me two tries to get through, just wasn't really mine.
The book starts out annoyingly slow.
Annie's "friends" being terrible people didn't help my enjoyment, good guy Sam grows on you with time, just like on everyone else in the book, he's propbably the best character in the whole story - oblivious but genuine.
Some of the jokes are great, some other stuff she wants to poke fun at is too close to real happenings to be actually funny. The story picks up towards to end and becomes quite entertaining, but it happens too late to really save the book.
I guess readers which are a fan of chick-lit will enjoy it a lot more than I did, but even there I would rather recommend Karen McInerney's books.
