Excellent but be careful
I absoloutely loved this book.. along with everything else Rachel has written. It's all about a writer looking for the truth of her past but of course falls for the 1 person she shouldnt....
However i just wish some 1 had warned me that this book goes in a certain order = P... I being a bit stupid read I'm in no mood for love.. then i read Not another bad date.. then tangled up in you and im currently readin sex, lies and online dating!! On Im in no mood for love i thought it was cool that she used the same character in it that was the main character I'm in no mood for love... then i started to realize that each story was about each character's lookin for love.
Just so u know they are 4 writers and friends!! Anyway if u dont want to know what happens before each book read it in the order of: Sex, lies and online dating....I'm in no mood for love...Tangled up in you... then not another bad date!! Anyway hope you enjoy the book = D

Great Read
When I started reading this book, I didn't think I was going to like it as much as the author's others but boy I was wrong, I should have had more faith in Rachel Gibson's ability to draw you in and keep you hooked. This is a great story and my only complaint it I wish Rachel could write faster. I can't wait for her next book in the series, Another Bad Date!! If you like Rachel Gibson you will also love anything by Susan E Phillips.

All Tangled Up!
This is my favourite Rachel Gibson read, esp. from the sort-of-series of 3 novels (a fourth to come) that feature the same 4 writer friends. The reason that this is my favourite - Maddie. She's just such a refreshing 'chick-lit heroine': kickass, in-your-face, rude, blunt and oh-so-sexy. Unlike her friends - of whom Clare and Lucy's stories have so far been explored - Maddie is the one with the most substance, the most depth and the most reality. Ditto for Mick, as opposed to the other men in the other 2 novels. The plot line is slick (to use Gibson's slightly over-used term!) and gripping, and the romance is hot like hell!

It's not necessary to read the other two novels - Sex, Lies and Online Dating & I'm in no Mood for Love - before you read this, but I found, having read them out of order and then going back to them in order again, that it was really fun to see how Gibson weaves snippets of her previous novels into the current ones. Small mentions of previously loved characters - such as the "after" part of the happily-ever-after - really make the reading experience whole. I also found that one of her earliest novels - Truly, Madly, Deeply - was also revisited in this particular novel, and we saw the 'after' of Delaney, Nick, Louie and Lisa, which was fun. It really adds that whole "small town" appeal that Gibson clearly strives for.

My only gripe about Gibson's novels, esp. the writer series, is that a lot of - try MOST of - the language is very similar. The vocabulary is quite limited, so often we see exact phrases being transported from one novel/situation to the next. Sometimes you forget which novel you are reading, because they all sound so similar. I think a variation of vocabulary - esp. to describe the sex scenes, which all sound the same, no matter how hot they are! - would definitely notch up an extra star.

But apart from that, I am overall quite pleased with Gibson's style and her presentation of the characters. Like I said, Maddie and Mick (and Snowball!) make this novel for me, and I can't wait for the fourth and final installment of the writer series, as well as any future Gibson offerings!
