Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 1 1/2 stars rounded up. Novella (not a full book). Can read the ebook directly at Goodreads. Synopsis/blurb is wrong. Lemme summarize the real story since it's not a sympathetic character getting dumped before the altar. I did not at all like this due to plotline and characters (although to be honest characters pretty cardboard) but not badly written and the "feel" of the setting came across well. Meangirl/Countryclub-princess has frenemy relationships with her gal pals and an on/off thing with her first love. Gets engaged to cardboard perfect co-worker; then the virginal bride-to-be loses it to Back home a week before frenemy Cesca's wedding as her maid of honor (required since Kim had made Cesca hers at the canceled wedding). Throughout novella, it's established she and Cesca basically only nice to those they can use and only for as long as potentially useful -- and yet book dwells on her endless whines about how no one likes her, she always gets taken the wrong way, co-workers and others don't understand how schmoozing really gets you ahead faster than anything else so they should not be jealous (a work crisis to prove her point of course because this character is always right and always mistreated with everyone but herself to be blamed) and if she had nothing to do with you until you are potentially useful (for example, if you become her boss) you are not supposed to notice but just happily play along. First love a particularly cringe-worthy storyline with them together, then not (sometimes from a fight sometimes just from him picking up and moving on), then he's with someone else, then not, then together. Twenty-seven year old she and her Mom depend on the divorced dad to keep them in lifestyle to which they are accustomed including country club memberships. Whew! Think this review just re-wrote the novella for you without some of the snobbery so maybe you can skip the read. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Yes, Universe, Kimmy Domingo knows that you hate her. But she's a nice person, she really is -- as long as you ignore the stories of people she's bullied, manipulated, and annoyed in the past. She totally gets that you've gotten back at her by having her fiance' dump her a week before their wedding. Soon after, she quit her job, hopped on a plane, and just hid from everyone who knew her. A year later and she's back in Manila to be maid of honor at a wedding she can't miss. She's home because she's ready to start over, but she also knows that some people at that wedding were responsible for the mess her life turned out to be. The first step to recovery? Cutting off the ones who caused her troubles to begin with: her best friend and her first love. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Kimmy has a very big EGO, that's what makes her character interesting, but for some reason I prefer her appearance in [b:My Imaginary Ex|6692512|My Imaginary Ex|Mina V. Esguerra|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1249886699s/6692512.jpg|6887988]; I like more of her sauciness in there haha.
In this story, it shows that mean girls also have soft spots and vulnerabilities.
And now that I read this, I think Zack from [b:My Imaginary Ex|6692512|My Imaginary Ex|Mina V. Esguerra|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1249886699s/6692512.jpg|6887988] wasn't really that true with his feelings. lol. ( )
