Rachel Katz is a British, Jewish, stand-up comedian. If that isn't a recipe for humor, I don't know what is! While her obsessive-compulsive, slightly boring, dentist finance, Adam, is in South Africa for a month, Rachel meets Matt Clapton, the washing machine repairman. Matt is supportive where Adam is dismissive, he's manly where Adam is neat and tidy, and Matt wears a tool belt! Need I say more? With a quirky neighbor, a senior citizen love affair, a ten-year old son obsessed with Barbra Streisand, and a midget named Tractor, this book will keep you laughing right up to the end! I loved this book! It was funny and silly and sexy. The characters were wacky enough to be unpredictably fun, although the plot was predictable. The were lots of silly, tongue-in-cheek puns and bad jokes (some good jokes). Lots of guy-bashing humor, although it had lots of decent guy characters (what I mean is that it's not a guy-bashing book). I especially loved the Jewish-girl angle. It wasn't very strong, so I think most women can relate to it, but it was fun to see and poke fun at the Jewish mom issues and Jewish dating issues. I have to say that the sex was pretty graphic (to me) and pretty sexy. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Her husband left her for another man. Her boyfriend may be cheating. Her mother's got a secret. Is everyone having great sex but Rachel? Lately, stand-up comic Rachel Katz's life has begun to resemble a not-so-funny comedy routine -- the kind where nobody laughs and everybody inches toward the door. It began when her husband cheated ... with another man. Now she's raising a ten-year-old son who's fixated on Barbra Streisand and wondering if her dentist boyfriend -- who won't stop flossing long enough to make love to her -- is having an affair. Enter Matt Clapton, a wickedly sexy washing machine repairman who likes Rachel's jokes and makes her feel like a woman for the first time in ages -- maybe in her entire life. With her mother busy planning a wedding Rachel isn't sure she wants, her son dead set on inviting Barbra to the reception, and the groom-to-be in South Africa, working on someone else's oral hygiene, the question is: What's she going to do about it? Especially when fame and fortune beckon in a comedy contest that could put her on the map ... and change her life forever. Spin Cycle tells a wickedly funny, shamelessly erotic story of lovers and liars, exes and children, parents and other strangers. This hip and hilarious new novel by the acclaimed author of Neurotica introduces a heroine who never loses her sense of humor and who discovers, somewhere between the rinse and spin cycles, that love -- and laughter -- can truly conquer all.

This book is predictable and not in a good way, it is not just the end the whole book has a flat line from start to finish.
DO NOT GO FUTHER IF YOU STILL WANT TO READ THE BOOK
An elderly respectable couple doing a sex-help video??? Interior designers that hate modern design and only like traditional (and tacky) décor??? These lame explanations truly annoyed me.
Plus when the main part of a story is a person cheating in a couple it really annoys me when the author makes the other party cheat as well so that everything is solved!! Not realistic… too easy… in this book the end of a two years relationships and engagement takes place in a few pages of respective pleasantries. Boring.
(Also not a “clean” Chick-Lit)
