Hilarious! People watching me drive down the road while listening to this probably thought I was crazy. It made me laugh out loud.

I think I read a book by her & didn't love it. But listening to this one on cd I was cracking up the entire time. The way Emma just blurted out all her secrets to a complete stranger. Emma is stuggling with her love & work lives. I enjoyed all the comical things with some love thrown in there too.

I would not let a young person listen or read this book just because of the F word used several times. I was a little shocked. My mom suggested this to me, and even though I am 25 years old, I was suprised she didn't mention the F word being used. I think it was used too loosely.
Anyway, the story itself was great. I was very suprised at one part of the story and I yelled out loud at parts, laughed at others, sighed.....I felt like I was in the world of the character. Like she was telling me her story.
This book shows you that it is OK to be you. It doesn't matter what other people think, and it is OK to tell the truth. Also, stand up for yourself!

What an adorable story!...I loved it...a really quick listen...5 cd's.
The first few 10 minutes or so I wasn't sure, but then it picked up and was really entertaining. Had to listen to it all in one sitting, ddin't want to stop. Funny and enjoyable, upbeat.
Funny! Enjoyed listening to it. I will try other books from this author.
I must admit that I wasn't a great fan of the Shopoholic series -- the first was cute, but the others became a bit irritating. So, I was a bit heistant about trying another Kinsella. But, that's the beauty of Paperback Swap! I can try something without putting out a big investment -- and this little investment certainly paid off. I listened to this audio CD on the way back and forth from work last week, and I have to admit that I coudn't wait to get in the car to hear more! The story is light and somewhat predictable -- though not completely. What Kinsella does so much better in this story is give us a heroine who is really, really likeable. She has her flaws, but basically she's a good, honorable person. Emily Gray, as narrator, also does a tremendous job of bringing each character to life.
Now, if Kinsella would write more stories about this heroine, I'd be more than happy to read them! I highly recommend this light read (or listen). I think you'll enjoy it.

This is a very intertaining book , especially since it's on CD and you get the full British accent. I laughed out loud at several places.

Really enjoy the story although it was totally predictable.
This was really funny! I haven't laughed so much in ages.
I really enjoyed this book. I found myself laughing out loud while driving home from work and wanting to wait in the car once there to hear the end of the track!
Some good laughs - an enjoyable, funny story!
Great fun. Awesome delivery. Sure entertainment. It will send you back to the thrill of your teen/twenties...that is if you are still not there :)
Great book to listen to in the car!!

Much better than "Confessions of a Shopaholic," which I didn't like it at all. Abridged on 5 CDs, approx. 6 hours. Read by Emily Gray.

I don't usually read/listen to what is commonly referred to as "chick-lit" but this was pretty funny and poignant in places
This book is a suitable companion to another of Sophie Kinsella's book The Undomesticated Goddess.
The story is bright and cheerful. The reader makes it even more enjoyable.
For those who enjoy a bit of bawdy English humor, it is a pleasant experience.
Five stars.
