Sheryl J. Anderson

Sheryl J. Anderson always wanted to write a novel. It just took her longer than most to get there. She now has four mystery novels in print, all revolving around Molly Forrester and the Killer series. The four titles are: Killer Heels, Killer Cocktail, Killer Deal, and Killer Riff. All follow a murder (or murders) with the stiletto wearing, cocktail sipping Molly Forrester hot on the trail in efforts to crack the case and write the best story. Each novel is written with the characters leaping from the pages and into your imagination, trying to solve the mystery before even Molly can.

Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella
Chick Lit Review

Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella nails it again with Remember Me. Not only is there humor, a light hearted spirit, but the reader feels the frustration and urgency Lexi is struggling with throughout the chapters. We want her to regain her memory; we want to know just as bad as she does how she got to this unfamiliar place. The characters are relatable and the plot is witty and fast paced, a real page turner while new events and surprises are uncovered.

The Bachelorette Party by Karen McCullah Lutz
Chick Lit Review

The Bachelorette Party by Karen McCullah Lutz

The Bachelorette Party was one of the first novels that helped reel me in to the chick lit genre. The cover resembled a journal with confetti festively covering it, and (judging the book by its cover) it was going to be a treat. Karen McCullah Lutz co-wrote movies such as Legally Blonde, 10 Things I Hate About You, and She’s the Man, which only amped my anticipation higher to dive right in.

Killer Heels by Sheryl J. Anderson
Chick Lit Review

Killer Heels by Sheryl J. Anderson

Are you a Sex in the City fan? Of course I am, and the moment I began reading Killer Heels by Sheryl J. Anderson I felt that I was transported right onto the set. Our heroine, Molly Forrester, is a replica of Carrie Bradshaw, a sassy Manhattan journalist with an ambition to move up from her so-so advice columnist position (“You Can Tell Me”), two girlfriends with night and day personalities, and of course: a love of expensive designer shoes. The cover alone was enough to lure me to pick up this book, with nothing but legs and pink stilettos resting above the New York skyline.

Breakfast at Stephanie’s by Sue Margolis
Chick Lit Review

Breakfast at Stephanie’s by Sue Margolis

The writing is fast paced, but sometimes too fast for my fancy. Frank’s character is too small, I was left with confusion about who exactly he was, why he was no longer with his fiancée, and just how he became so infatuated with Stephanie after only a handful of meetings. Be aware of the graphic sex scenes that had me cringing in multiple spots, but just like with Margolis’ other novels, the British humor is right on in this entertaining tale.

Something Blue by Emily Giffin
Chick Lit Review

Something Blue by Emily Giffin

Something Blue, Emily Giffin’s follow-up novel from Something Borrowedgives a spectacular narrative twist. Instead of following through loveable Rachel’s eyes, whom we all came to adore and sympathize in the first book, we now follow Darcy, the best friend whom was betrayed by BFF Rachel. But as we learned from Something Borrowed, Darcy wasn’t as loveable or relatable as Rachel proved to be.

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
Chick Lit Review

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

Confessions of a Shopaholic. All chick lit readers should be well aware of this fabulous Sophie Kinsella novel turned movie starring the red headed beauty Isla Fischer. Becky Bloomwood is the lovable main character, with a weakness for designer labels and debt chasing her to the extreme. Her thought processes can make you laugh for the entire duration of the book, with crazy schemes running wild in her head. You cringe as she continues to rack up debt after debt, and can do nothing else but shake your head as the tales she tries to feed to her bank manger.
