So when her friends dare her to pick a man off the top of the pile, she's game. But in one awful evening, the seemingly perfect Stuart turns out to be a completecad, and Holly's belief in the goodness of humanity takes a hit. What does it mean for her business and her romantic future if she can no longer trust her ability to read people?

I did not like this book. As far as I can tell none of the characters acted like adults. ( )

Looks like chick lit, written like chick lit, NOT chick lit. It's about a girl who gets raped and then tries to regain control of her life. ( )

Interesting book! Maxted's heroine Holly rings true as she tries to hold herself together after a date rape. And while her reactions and her struggle to cope with this, on top of a broken engagement to a man she loves, is painful -- it's written with a loving humor. And somehow, as important as that story line is, it's secondary to the Holly and Nick theme.

I'm not being very articulate -- but Maxted dealt with a horrifying subject in a truthful yet hopeful way, eventually getting it into context in Holly's life.

I recommend it. ( )

I wasn't sure if I would like this. I decided to give it another chance. Not too long in the book I was laughing out loud and that does not happen to me that much so I decided to keep reading. Then something i totally did not expect happened. The rape. You don't expect it in a chick lit book.
Anyways then when reading a bit more I thought O no, she is going to be nice to her rapist? I do not think I can read anymore, but I did keep on and glad I did.
It took me ages to read, I am not sure why. Maybe because of the small print, maybe the book itself was the cause, but when i was done I felt a bit sad. So that's a good sign.
Going to give this book 8.5.
thanks for sharing Rosie
