Product Description

From Booklist

To call Sarah Giles flighty would be an understatement. She can't seem to hold down a job (though it's usually not her fault), and she's juggling two men. She's been dating Paul for five years, and though she believes he's perfect for her, they've barely had sex since she had an abortion nine months into their relationship. She met John, a magnetic cad, through work, and she can't take her mind off him. He pursues her with flirtatious phone calls and cell phone text messages, and, desperate for a little passion, Sarah responds. She is content to carry on with both men, but then Paul proposes. Though he is arrogant and controlling, Sarah can't seem to see this and accepts. But she's unable to break things off with John, who is becoming less of a womanizer and more serious about Sarah. He even tells her he loves her, making Sarah's choice all the more difficult. Though Sarah is at times frustratingly obtuse, Tucker's lively debut will appeal to young women experiencing their own confusing times. Kristine Huntley

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, Oct 8 2006
By * Saimz (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This has to be one of the absolutely worst chicklit reads ever. It's agonizingly slow throughout most of the book and the reader feels no empathy for Sarah Giles what so ever. Couldn't wait for this book to finish, in hopes that she would get what she deserved (a kick in the face) instead of love from two men.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flat and Pointless, April 17 2005
By "st-exupery" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This is one of the worst chick-lit I have ever read. I have no idea how it got published. It is an imitation of Bridget Jones -but the similarity ends there. In every single way, this book has provided a sample of "not to do" list for the future writers.

1. The writing is so beyond bad you would think the book was written by a grade 9 student.
2. The storyline is flat. There is no substance, no intelligence and no energy. How can juggling between 2 men be so boring? There is more excitement flipping through a cookbook.
3. The main character, Sara, seems to have absolutely no self-respect. I cannot see how any woman can identify with her, except for the author herself I guess.
4. The author is an "award winning" travel journalist herself. I don't know how she can be a journalist with such poor writing and a "travelling" one if she didn't do any research before writing about her assignment in Canada in this "Last Year" book. In one chapter, she was travelling from Vancouver to Calgary to Banff to Quebec to Toronto to Montreal to Nova Scotia. You can't go to Banff (town) from Calgary (Province) since Banff is in Calgary and you can't go from Quebec (Province) to Montreal (city) since Montreal is in Quebec. May be she manages to go from San Francisco to California too.

Anyway, please do not waste time to read it. It shouldn't be in the genre of "chick-lit". It should be under the genre of "junk".

5.0 out of 5 stars A real page turner!, Jun 7 2004
By A Customer
I did not want this book to end. I love the way this book was written from Sarah's point of view. Sarah was depicted so vividly - a great character any woman could relate to. Sarah's situation although unique was very enticing and fun to read about. The author kept me wanting to know what she was going to do next. The love scenes were hot, hot, hot! I liked it because it had a surprise ending - not the traditional happily ever after. This is a book you would be foolish to miss!

I could barely skim this book. It is written in a diary format a la Bridget Jones, but it doesn't contain the humor or plot; it does, however, consist mainly of sentence... Read more
