Great for Sam Jones Fans + Kicks ChickLit in the ***, 6 Feb 2003
Although this could be said to be ChickLit -- it avoids all the genre's most annoying features - the heroine is *not* broke, worried about weight, lazy/job hating, living in a crummy flat, quivering with insecurity, or yearning for a husband to rescue her. Not at all.She's successful, she works hard and enjoys it, she has a fabulous flat, great interesting friends, a full life, confidence, a spring in her step, shoes to die for, and by the way treats men like sextoys. The book is about her evolution - one day she wakes up and doesn't want casual sex anymore, but the reverse petrifies her. Kids, yuck. Committment, terror. It's female Peter Pan Syndrome coming to an end, and what do you do when that happens? If you are a Sam Jones Fan (as I am) this book may fascinate you, because it's really a closer examination of the exact situation that Sam finds herself in at the end of the last novel Pretty Boy. Do you hang out in your old life, or do you move in with Hugo? It's a bigger terror for Sam than any of the murderers she's met. I suspect that Lauren Henderson used this book to delve into the hip-female-committment-phobe idea much further, perhaps to resolve some things in her own mind, before returning to Sam Jones' next step.
