Entertaining, but bad message., Jan 17 2010

This review is from: Tell Me Something (Paperback)
I enjoyed the book. It was well written, funny, and the characters were developed well. However, I did not agree with the message nor did I like how it ended. Essentially, the author is saying that infidelity is ok if you're not happy. I think most chic lit involves infidelity but it is usually by the antagonist (aka the ex). In this case, it is the heroine of the story who cheats. Basically, I just find the message to be misguided and just plain wrong.

Copy Editor? Editor?, April 17 2012
By Diorella Grande - Published on Amazon.com
This book had promise. The premise was something I was interested in...a woman obsessed with Italy finds an Italian man and moves there fulfilling her dream, or does she? The book is filled with 'twists' but I could not and cannot overlook the poor Italian grammar, misspellings, lack of research and general poor writing/editing. The stereotypes about Italy are ridiculous enough, but being that the book is set in the NORTH and no research had evidently been done is just awful. Italian University students don't "all work part time jobs" to pay for Uni. I've been living in Italy for five years and haven't met more than two or three that have a job during their studies. Also, the names are spelled 'Paolo' not 'Paulo'(Spanish/Portugese), 'Annamaria' not 'Ana'(Spanish), they are 'Baci' chocolates not 'Bacci' and countless other errors I can't remember now. The protagonist Elizabeth, by the way, comes across as grotesquely ignorant and lazy so it's not shocking her husband tires of her. In fact I don't know why they even married at all as she seems like a superficial, unambitious idiot. By the end I still couldn't root for Elizabeth and all of the glaring errors really detracted from a sense of place the reader should be experiencing.
Listmania!
