A surprisingly good read,
By "rmliss" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thin Pink Line (Red Dress Ink) (Hardcover)
I'm not usually a fan of what could be called 'Chick-Lit' or 'Brit-com', just so that's clear. However, I was given an advance copy of The Thin Pink Line to read on a long flight and was very pleasantly surprised. First of all, the dialouge (one of my first criteria) is crisp, well written and sounds real in the mind's ear. Next, there are moments that are laugh-out-loud funny. The novel is very well paced and moves right along. The only criticism I may have, and this is purely from a personal point of view and has nothing to do with the writing, is that I found it very hard to sympathise in any meaningful way with Jane, the protagonist. However, if someone like me who doesn't read much along the lines of this sort of thing enjoyed it very much, I'm sure people who do will find that The Thin Pink Line stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Fun and witty!,
This review is from: The Thin Pink Line (Red Dress Ink) (Hardcover)
The Thin Pink Line made me laugh and smile a lot, and at one point it even brought tears to my eyes. Although Jane is terribly self-centered and, therefore, not exactly a likeable person, I could not dislike her. Why? I think because of her great determination. Once Jane had set her mind on pretending to be pregnant, she went on with it, even though she knew there would not and could not be a baby at the end of her ninth month to show for. Right up to the end, Lauren Baratz-Logsted keeps you guessing about the outcome. And when it comes? I can only tell you what happened to me. I heaved a deep sigh and, with a big smile on my face I continued to stare at the last line for a while, before I was able to close the book. A fun and witty story. Read it!

Witty, engaging,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thin Pink Line (Red Dress Ink) (Hardcover)
Sparkling fun, clever, and too perceptive about the heart of a single woman to be viewed as a typical romance. I've been recommending it to everyone. Presenting a novel romantic dilemma, the story went in directions I never expected. Although I couldn't entirely approve of the heroine, she was so funny and real and vulnerable that I simply loved her. And, even Bridget Jones was awfully stupid sometimes.... I found myself cheering for Jane to make it all work--somehow! This book is Too Good To Miss.
