Frankly I found the first hundred or so pages really hard going ... Especially with the footnotes (what a pathetic idea, They add nothing to the story, just make it more difficulty to read). HOWEVER, Personally, I enjoyed the rest of the book and wanted to find out What Was going to happen. A nice light read. What I do find missing, Unfortunately, is the sense of humor We had with the Shopaholic books. I did not really find anything worth a chuckle Even in this book. Could be worse though. (I'm glad I Waited for the price to go down a bit before I bought it !!)
