Name Dropping
6 journalers for this copy...
Taken from Amazon:
The name's the thing in this lively romantic thriller in the Susan Isaacs tradition, a theme set up in the opening scenes when Manhattan preschool teacher Nancy Stern gets flowers from an unknown admirer. As she soon learns, however, the bouquet is not for her, and neither are the phone calls from intriguing-sounding men or the invitations to film screenings and glamorous parties. Another Nancy Stern, a celebrity journalist, has just moved into the penthouse in our heroine's building. It's enough to make a teacher who hasn't had a date in months accept one of the mistaken invitations. The man proceeds to steal her heart, and the longer she waits to tell him about the mix-up in identities, the less she wants to. But when the other Nancy Stern is killed and the murder makes the headlines, the charade is over.
Or is it? It seems the killer was confused, too--he meant to put sweet Nancy out of the picture, and it all has to do with a gaudy brooch given to her by one of her pupils, a little boy who claims his father is a pirate and has a treasure chest full of booty. This is the perfect summer read--as frothy as an incoming wave, as refreshing as a Popsicle on a hot day.
~~twist on the average chick lit but refreshing!~~

Journal Entry 7 by Geegal at A Trade in Trade, A book trading site -- Controlled Releases on Wednesday, July 19, 2006
Funny, a year ago I wouldn't have touched a book that sounded like "chick-lit" with a long pole, but thanks to bookcrossing I relented my black and white view on books and even warmed towards randy romance and chick lit books, provided that they are good.
The idea was funny, the charakters nice, but nothing special. A good and fast read.
I was a bit confused, though: Why does kindergarden come after pre-school? Shouldn't it be the other way round?
