Tangled Up In You is a brilliant read. It's got everything you would expect from a Rachel Gibson novel. You've got your strong characters thrown into a situation which of course pushes them together to have a love story. If you have read Rachels books before you will know what to expect. This book however, has a rather serious side in which I don't think Rachel has really shown in her books before giving this a fresh and enjoyable 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.

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!

I am still a little gun shy after the last two Gibson books
but this book was a definite step in the direction of her classics. I liked the seriousness that Maddie and Mick's shared history lent their relationship, not the substance of that... Read more

I liked this book! I loved Maddie and Mick--they are so real. There's a decent plot with just a little bit of mystery; wisecracking/sharp dialog like Jennifer Crusie's books; and... Read more
