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.… (plus d'informations)

For me it was extremely difficult to get into this book, or even finish it! There was no suspense, the story wasn’t there, and there was no development. In the end I had to skip some pages because it was just too boring. The author tries to include some mysteries to add something to the non-existent story, involving the parents of the protagonist and the designers she works for, but in the end they are not very plausible and somewhat irritating.
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)

Sue Margolis is great at humorous chicklit! 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!

British almost romance, contemporary.

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. ( )
