A wicked comedy about the perils of making your dreams come true Quirky, clever, cubicle-bound Jennifer Johnson is desperate. Everyone around her is getting married, while she's still single and stuck writing ad copy about men's dress socks. Her life hits crisis level, launching her into a humiliating and painfully hilarious quest to find Prince Charming at any cost. This includes agonizing online dates, diet-clinic cults, drag-queen fights, and a debilitating addiction to Cinnabon icing. When she meets handsome, wealthy Brad Keller, she wonders if he's the answer to all her dreams, or is he just too good to be true? Darkly funny and outrageously honest, McElhatton's wit shines in this no-holds-barred cautionary tale about getting what you want--and how it can be the worst thing for you.… (mehr)

I plan to read the sequel only to see if she wakes up and comes to her senses or if she is going to be a dumb dumb girl. ( )

My library recommended book 2 of this series to me (they did not carry this one) which looked funny and appealed to me. New to me author. This one was reasonably priced on kindle when I was in the mood for a rom-com read so gave it a whirl.

The plot, until the ending, appealed. Writing was okay if a bit on the stream of consciousness side. I was always on the fence about the main character, partly because in places she really took some friendships for granted and was even nasty to friends. I never got the romance; it was clear she was eventually mostly into the guy because he was rich.

The ending was abrupt and spoiled the read for me. Not a cliffhanger. Just kind of dropped out of nowhere that *boom* the end. And all of a sudden everything heroine went through and felt in previous chapters got inexplicably reversed.

I'm now on the fence about borrowing the next book. It could conceivably redeem the character and the abrupt ending (and would be free to borrow). But, even before the abrupt ending this one didn't completely hook me. ( )

I liked this book overall, but was shocked by the ending. Jennifer is a woman who has just turned 30 who seems to be in a dead end job. She's not where she thought she would be at this time in her life. She has numerous self esteem problems as well as an addiction to Cinnabon. All things seem to be going wrong for her until during a mid-west winter she meets the man of her dreams. But does the man of her dreams really hold the key to making her dreams come true? ( )

Jennifer has hit 30, has an unsatisfying career as a copywriter for a family-owned Minneapolis department store and bad luck with men. When she meets the heir to her store's family, he seems too good to be true. Maybe I don't relate to the Minnesota setting, but I couldn't get into this or relate to Jennifer. There is a sequel where she is sick of being married (spoiler?), and I think I'll pass. ( )
