1.0 out of 5 stars Needs to Go Back to the Deep Freeze 8 Mar 2006
By Mindy K. Hanson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was one of those books I kept reading just waiting for it to "get good". Well, I just finished the last page and it never did. Too bad, it had potential... I really wanted to like it!

I was on the ice a few years before the author and got a very occasional chuckle from events that I recall happening but overall this book was more fluff than actual story.

Less dialogue and more story would have made the book move along faster. There was so much conversation that significant parts of the story were left hanging. What happened with Clarry's new found love interest?

I can not recall the last time it took me 3 weeks to get through a 260-page book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great premise but falls short in delivery 4 May 2005
By Tracy Vest - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was really looking forward to this story - what a great premise - to relocate to Antarctica after being dumped to get a new lease on life.

Clarissa has been with Kieran for eight years. On the night she assumes he is going to propose, he instead dumps her. Out of her home, with no job, she moves back with her folks until she and her 2 friends come up with the idea to move to Antarctica to start over.

There were a couple parts of the book that were hilarious - particularly the necessities that they packed, and all the mistakes Clarissa made. But there were far too many extended conversations among the three, and I just could not get into the dialogue - as it droned on and on. There were so many other areas that could have been further expanded on, particularly the post-Kieran relationship with Mitchell, and perhaps some background on why she stayed with him so long in the first place.

I was really disappointed in the story. In the right hands, it could have been so much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars coming of age chick lit tale 6 Oct 2004
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Clarissa has lived with Kieran for eight years and thinks he is about to propose. Her best friends Delilah and Kate agree and even throw an engagement party, but Kier fails to give her a ring. Instead he breaks up with her after she quits her job to become a housewife to him. She returns to her mom's place with her tail dragging.

While Clarissa mopes, her friends try to cheer her up without success. Her mom wanting her daughter back on her feet and happy gives a brochure on Antarctica to Kate. Before Clarissa knows what is happening she is on her way to Antarctica for employment accompanied by her two buddies. There the male to female ratio is 4:1 with most of the men being single.

Though the heroine is in her late twenties-early thirties this is a coming of age chick lit tale. Readers will have to adjust to decisions that flaky Clarissa makes but will find the time worth doing. Antarctica serves as a terrific backdrop even if plunging into the icy water seems cold for even a polar bear. Chick lit fans will appreciate this fine tale of a woman trying to find herself in the frozen Antarctic tundra.
