Product Description
From Booklist
Sigaloff, author of Like Mother, Like Daughter (2006), tackles the romantic lives of two very different friends in her latest venture. Maggie's perspective on "happily ever after" changed dramatically after she discovered her live-in boyfriend was cheating on her shortly before he died in a tragic accident. Three years later, Maggie, 32, is dating her university crush, Max French, but when he asks her to move in with him, she's reluctant to give up her freedom. Her best friend, Eloise, is in the opposite boat: she would love to get her independent boyfriend, Jake, to settle down. After Maggie decides to move in with Max, Eloise convinces her to rent her flat out to Jake, thinking that if Jake leaves the flat he's currently sharing with several of his friends, he'll mature a bit. The move and the characters' various pursuits produce unexpected results. Astute readers will probably see the resolution coming, but there's no denying that it's an inventive and daring one for the chick-lit/romance genre. Huntley, Kristine

Very disappointing, Sep 25 2007
By S. Sicotte "bookluvr2007" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Romancipation Of Maggie Hunter (Paperback)
As a voracious reader, it takes a lot to make me toss a book down before I've finished it. But this book irked me so terribly that I simply could not continue reading. The pace was turtle-like, I had no wish to spend dozens of pages learning about HOW the heroine got to the current point in her life, and the dialogue did not ring true. When two women are together chatting, how often would they use the word "purport"? I'm well educated and I don't speak that way with my girlfriends, ever.I was very disappointed by this book. For being Sigaloff's 5th novel, I was surprised by the atrociousness of it. The writing was strained and tried far too hard to be funny... which it wasn't. Maggie came off flat and completely unsympathetic. This book will go into the library charity box. Fifteen dollars wasted.

UGH, April 4 2008
By Nikkie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Romancipation Of Maggie Hunter (Paperback)
I went out and bought this book in October or November of last year and started reading it then. I just now finished it. It was extremely hard to get through. The chapters dragged on. The characters were boring. The plot was predictible. Don't waste your money on this one. I only gave it a two because it began to pick up near the end.

Blah. Don't bother., Aug 2 2007
By Little D - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Romancipation Of Maggie Hunter (Paperback)
I've loved most of Jane Sigaloff's other books so I have no doubts when purchasing this latest book of hers.It was way too long and the story drags on and on. It was rather boring. I couldn't read it all the way through to finish it, so I skipped to the end and read the epilogue.
