The Givenchy Code
5 journalers for this copy...
A mind-bending code spawned from the mind of a madman...or maybe just a jealous ex.
A desperate race through the cathedrals and hotels of New York City...with a teeny bit of time for shopping, it's true.
An astonishing truth concealed for years, unveiled at last...with more than a little help from a supercute new guy.
As if a recent breakup, scrounging for rent money, and lusting after designer shoes weren't enough to make graduate student Melanie Prescott's life challenging, suddenly she's practically living The Da Vinci Code. A mysterious stranger is sending obscure codes and clues her way and she soon discovers she has to solve them in order to stay alive. With stakes like that, her dissertation on "the derivation and primary characteristics of codes and ciphers used by prevailing nations during wartime" is looking a little less important than it was yesterday. Right now she's just worrying about living to see tomorrow. The only bright spot in the whole freakish nightmare is Matthew Stryker, the six-foot tall, dark, and handsome stranger who's determined to protect her. Well, that and the millions of dollars that will be her reward if she survives this deadly game. And she'd better survive. Because that's a heck of a lot of money to be able to spend on shoes and handbags and sunglasses and dresses, and, well, it's hard to be fashionable when you're dead.
Join bestselling author Julie Kenner on a heel-breaking adventure in code-breaking that will bring out the math geek and the fashionista in you.

I received this book months ago in a trade. It was a light and fun read. Chick lit meets The Davinci Code - i would like to read more of this genre!

Picked up at tonight's meetup. Next month's venue will change. Keep checking the forums for the update.
Fun, chick lit, thriller type novel. Many "copies" from The Da Vinci Code novel so since I enjoyed that novel as a cheap thriller, this was fun to follow along with.
I'll put it aside for the convention in April.

For Ri at the convention, enjoy.
Shelley hand delivered this one to me yesterday at the convention goody bag stuffing party. Thanks so much, Enza!
Update 7/5: Didn't realize that I didn't journal this after finishing it! I really enjoyed this fast paced read - a cross between thriller and chick lit. Really great!

This arrived today -- thanks Ri! Received as part of a reverse wish relay...I think.... :D
What a fast, fun little book! I agree with all the previous comments -- Da Vinci Code meets chick lit and hits the streets of New York! The computer game concept worked really well. Remind me not to play anything like that!
This was raided from my shelf during a bookshelf-raiding swap, and stolen out of play by Kislany. So this afternoon it hopped the boat to Cyprus. Happy reading!
Wow! and this was sent with the boat???? Some airmail doesn't arrived that fast to Cyprus!!!
