5.0 out of 5 stars
Loved it!,
This review is from: Slightly Suburban (Paperback)
I've read all the Slightly series, and enjoyed this book as much as the others. A Chick Lit must have for ladies who have enjoyed the Shopaholic Series. Can't wait for the next addition! Lighthearted and funny, this novel does not disappoint!

5th in this series,
By Amy Leemon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Slightly Suburban (Paperback)
I started reading about Tracey when she was "Slightly Single" and have enjoyed each book. This one - not as much - I agree with the reviewer who finds Tracey annoying. And there were some parts that just didn't make sense. Such as: the couch. If they got it in, why couldn't they get it out????!!!! And since Tracy was so anxious to have a house in the 'burbs, why didn't she STAY there and enjoy it?! It seems as if she was never in it once she got there.
But I still enjoyed the book because the humor has been there from the start and that's important to me. It's a light read and that's perfect sometimes. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

More chick lit,
By Tina "Tina" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Slightly Suburban (Paperback)
Slightly Suburban is the latest in the series of "Slightly" books. I have been all over the place with these books - I love the way this author writes and the storyline is engaging and quite funny. But I actively DISLIKE the main character Tracy - she is bossy, annoying, demanding, whiny and immature.
Everytime I read one of the books in this series, I get this urge to smack her and tell her to smarten up - I mean really - who goes out and buys a saw so that the movers can saw the feet of the couch they need to move? In this particularly storyline, she is particularly whiny and seems to want to cry at the drop of a hat. I also always wonder why she and Jack are married? They don't seem to have one little bit of thing in common. Having said all of this! why am I rating this book 4 stars? Because these books are compulsively readable and I enjoy every moment of reading them. As I mentioned, the author writes in a witty, charming and fun way, I like the fact that this story follows a logical and clear arc and it was quite fun to actually go through the whole house buying process with Jack and Tracy. I read this book in two days - I just kept finding a reason to read more and more. If only Tracy was less annoying....and I am dying to find out what happens to Kate. I was a little alarmed at the direction the author is taking with some of Tracy's friends...as if a married woman can have either her husband or her friends???? I know there is going to be another installment and I am already dying to read it. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

fun "Slightly" chick lit tale,
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Slightly Suburban (Paperback)
No longer just SLIGHTLY MARRIED Tracey and Jack are happy together in New York City, albeit in a tiny apartment. However, Tracey feels they would have a nicer lifestyle if they left the Big Apple for a somewhat SLIGHTLY SUBURBAN locale especially since that would mean coming home to Jack and not his best buddy Mitch who seems to be more of a fixture in their lives then they are. Although Jack has doubts, he reluctantly agrees to their moving to Westchester County.
However, after mortgaging a fixer-upper, Tracey loses her copyrighting job at Blair Barnett Advertising so she stays home more. Once she begins to meet the suburban mommas, she finds herself not slightly but totally bored and wonders if she made an error as wants back to Manhattan. Continuing her "Slightly" chick lit Tracey and Jack saga, Wendy Markham provides a refreshing tale in which grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Tracey is at her best as she moans, groans and laments city life and then suburban life. Any moment readers will expect her to sing the theme song to Green Acres although Westchester County is a very urbanized suburb. Fans will appreciate her coping not always well with issues at work, unemployment, family, and just fitting in as Ms. Markham provides an engaging look at an urbanite struggling with adjusting to life in the burbs.
