Review title: Disappointing and horridly edited Product review: I picked up this book looking for something very different from what I wound up with. The editor seems to have padded out a lot of miscellaneous articles by Gelbart with jottings of his own, pages of lavish praise of Gelbart that you would think would embarrass Gelbart to be published in a book under his own name. Has he no shame? Enough already with these selections from old TV Guides! What a waste of a great talent!

Review title: Very tiresome dialog Product review: It took two people to write this book? I was pleased to see a chick lit book for the 40-something reader but this book really was a waste of my time. You can see the ending a mile away, for one, but that didn't really bother me. It was the writing. The main character suffers from a syndrome that's unfortunately common to chick-lit heroines, which is to speak in an overly quippy, aren't-I-clever with my snappy dialog way. Nearly every one of her sentences included a quip/joke (or a quippy thought in her head as she spoke). Real people just don't talk that way, and it makes it impossible to relate to or care about her. By the way, my copy had the first chapter of these authors' next book attached at the end, and they've basically created the same two main characters: the quippy single mom and her ridiculously glamorous best friend. I won't bother with it.

Review title: Poorly written, overly long, waste of print and paper Product review: I picked up this book looking for some light fare to read while on maternity leave. Since others in this space have more than adequately enumerated this book's many, many shortcomings, I'll only say that I agree that this is a waste of money and will be a real disappointment not only to Jane Austen fans, but to all readers who enjoy a believable romance or a tightly conceived and written plot. This is book is none of those things.
