Helpful Score: 7

Are there no editors anywhere in the publishing industry anymore? At 443 pages this book was too long by half. The dating tales of aspiring actress Karrie Kline spans 20 endless years. We start with Karrie as a young woman just starting out in the world, and end with a 43 year old Karrie, who seems to have not grown or changed one iota. Karrie Kline is no Carrie Bradshaw. The stories of her dating life are boring and endless, with nary a happy moment or ending in sight. There is no humor as in Bridget Jones books, just incessant tales of affairs with a number of men who all seemed interchangeable. Most of the time Karrie seems like a Desperate Single Woman, and after slogging through the tales of her dating woes, I got to the last line and wanted to throw the book at the wall. Read Bridget Jones Diary, watch Sex in the City but skip this book.
