Journal Entry 1 by Kyrissaean from Littleton, New Hampshire USA on Friday, February 29, 2008

Unabridged, 10 hrs 38 min. Audible download burned to CD's.

NOTE: There was a bit of a screw-up with the burn! One CD mid-way, which is a whopping 1 minute long, is all garbled! And I can't fix it or replace it. :( So yes, I'm saying there's a weird 1-minute-long CD smack in the middle of the book that's messed up (I think it's the fifth one) and then the rest of the book continues normally. I have no idea what makes Audible divide it's download's up in such a wacked-out manner.


This was hysterical! One of the best chick lit novels ever (and as far as I'm concerned, one that really pushes the boundary as close to a romance novel as possible, which is very likely part if it's appeal IMHO). This is utter, unrepentent fluff. And super funny! Plus Kate Reading, the narrator, has perfect comic timing. I had so much fun listening that I eventually just sat down and did nothing else -- I was enjoying it too much to stop or distract myself even a little bit! This would be a great pick for someone who wanted to try audio's if they already like the genre. Highly recommended!


Publisher's Summary
Emma Corrigan is young, sweet, and has a long list of secrets; the kind of innocent secrets everyone has, one of which is that she is afraid of flying. Coming back from a thoroughly ruinous sales trip to Glasgow, she is seized by mortal terror when the plane she is on encounters some air turbulence, and ends up spilling her guts to the handsome American sitting next to her. He gets to hear that she sleeps beneath a Barbie bedspread, that she fibbed to get her current job, and that she has never been able to satisfactorily find her G-spot. Then, the plane lands...and rather than disappearing into anonymity, the American turns up in her life again. He's the CEO of her company, and remembers her quite well....
