    It doesn't tackle world issues or secret codes, but this is a gripping story that keeps you reading until the very end. This is chicklit at its best. Its about two sisters that show two different sides of womanhood. One sister, the flamboyant but vulnereable single, the other who apparantly has 'everything' - a great husband, a beautiful daughter ... and yet both are struggling with various issues and insecurities.

    Without giving away too much of the story for those who've yet to read it, I liked how the book was narrated from each of their points of view. Although if you think of it technically, both sisters were sort of on the extreme side of the spectrum - one was very flamboyant very single and very man hungry, the other was very married, very bored in her marriage and feeling inadequate, unappreciated and boring. Single sister looking at the married sister, thinking she has it all, married sister looking at the single one and thinking how wide her options are.

    Basically it gives an insight into each girls mind, and really shows how the grass truly appears greener on the other side.

    Throw in fashion and hot guys, and there ya go, chick lit at its best ;-)
    Even though I received this book as part of the CA bookclub, I would have totally bought it too, it was really worth the read!!
    I've already read this book once over, and its on my self right next to my other favorite chick lits (like shopoholic). I can see myself reading this over and over...

    Although I received this book free, I would have gladly paid for the price listed. I absolutely loved this book and would recommend this to all my girlfriends who are looking for a fun and light book. The story revolves around two sisters and how they deal with relationships, social life and work. I personally like this book because each chapters are told by first person point of view of literally everyone. There were several tongue and cheek moments - something everyone can really enjoy.

    This is really for anyone who's looking for a great summer read!
