Normally I'd have to be paid to read escapist chick lit but I won this on Twitter... so I sort of was. Of course I didn't have to read it, but any book billed as "sunshine on a rainy day" is more than usually tempting this wet spring. And it was more or less as I imagined - too many adjectives, stereotypical characters and nothing at all threatening, challenging or cruel. The last of which is actually a refreshing change from my typical reading choices - it is an unusual author to be without guile - and a little sunshine never did much harm.
I'm not sure how much longer I can or should resist chick lit. If you were going to recommend just one, which would it be??
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought "Woman's World" but that probably doesn't count (and you've read it)! I don't read much chick lit either - there's a reason for that - though Louise Rennison's Georgia series is my guilty pleasure because it's so sweet and funny. Charlaine Harris' True Blood series is basically chick lit (warning: terrible pun coming up) with added bite (and lots of sex).
ReplyDeleteI've read a couple of the Louise Rennison's too, and liked them, maybe I should try a few more. And I love the tv series of True Blood. Puns and sex, what more could a chick ask for in her lit. xxx
