botox diaries not worth giving a shot

Just didn't pass the fine chick-lit test. Characters didn't focus on the fight for aging and the story was not inspiring or particularly funny. For someone that has has a long love affair with chick-lit and an introduction to botox - this one just didn't deliver results.

Very Enjoyable Read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It kept my interest from the very first page. Parts of it made me laugh out loud. Made me think of the friendship between my best friend and I and the things we have gone through together over the years. It was a fun and humorous read. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to just tune out of their everyday lives and escape into one of friendhip and humor.

I wish I could give it less stars!

This book was terrible, I was struggling to get through it. Not worth it at all. I wouldnt even recommend it at the library.

Page turner but no wow factor

I read 'Mine are Spectacular' first so my expectations were extremely high for the Botox Diaries. It was still amusing and enjoyable but not the 'LOVE IT' value that Mine are Spectacular had.

A Collaboration of Lame and Lamer

My guess is that the authors must have had a really good friend in the publishing biz. The jokes are pathetic. The literary / linguistic references are, to put it kindly, sophomoric. The editing is so bad that apparently nobody even bothered to check the (incorrect) French, or to catch the use of 'Coventry' Garden for Covent Garden. Sheesh! Here's another guess: this opus made the bestseller list by becoming a hit among chick lit fans like myself, who kept reading it simply to see if it could possibly get any worse.

A Humorous Female Portrayal...

I could, ahem, relate to this book! A must have for mommies and those of us holding onto our youth! If not for you, buy for a loved one this Christmas!

Takes You Away From It All

If you're looking for an engaging, warm story about believable characters 'The Botox Diaries' is for you. It's a realistic story about suburban life, but it's also a send-up. (My favorite detail comest at the moment when the doctor who is about to give out injections at a 'botox party' first wipes his sweaty hands on his trousers.) And the writing is so smooth- so seamless--that once you start reading this book,you can't put it down. A perfect escape.

a fab read

The Botox Diaries is a fabulous book about two women in their forties, Jess and Lucy, which is breezy, fun and more. Lucy goes through a mid-life crisis and ends up in an affair with a famous TV star -whose name I just loved!- Hunter Green. Jess' French ex-husband, Jacques, has come back to New York and is chasing her again. The plot is fast paced and funny and you really end up caring about Jess and Lucy and their friendship. This is a fabulous book which is perfect for all of us who loved 'The Devil Wears Prada' and 'Sex and the City'. LOVED IT.

So Much Fun

Sophisticated, funny and delightful! Rare that you can find a novel that makes you laugh out loud-but that also has intelligence and wisdom behind it. The main characters-Lucy and Jess-are such very real people that by the end of the book, they feel like your best friends. The writing is quick and clever-but never obvious. Constant surprises in the story keep you turning the pages. I finished it and wanted to start over again. The book is smart fun on every page. Highest recommendation!!

Well worth reading

While in Burbank Lucy Balder asks her best friend Jessica Taylor back in New York to bake something for her fifth grade daughter when the she makes something for her own child to take to school. While Lucy is happily married to Dan and has two other children, Jessica still dreams of her ex Jacques. She still desires him though his babyish behavior ended their marriage. Afterward she adopted her child..................................... Lucy informs Jess that she has taken on a lover. Since Jess likes Dan, she is concerned about what her friend is doing to what seemed a stable contented marriage. From work, Josh Gordon wants Jess, but Jacques is back and in her mind no one measures up to her former French spouse. Josh plans to prove otherwise that he, Jess and her daughter belong together instead of the unreliable French lover......................................... . THE BOTOX DAIRIES is an interesting character study that looks deep into the souls of two women closing in on middle age. The story line focuses more on Jess, but also provides the audience insight into Lucy. The secondary cast, especially the males, enable the audience to glimpse even more so than normal into the respective essences of the two female friends. Though there is very little action, fans of powerfully insightful life stories will appreciate the profound collaborative effort of Janice Kaplan and Lynn Schnurnberger. ................................

Can¿t Put it Down!!

I picked up a copy of ¿The Botox Diaries¿ and read it practically straight through, it is that funny! I loved all the dishy stuff = like the bagels and Botox party, the behind the scene TV machinations= but I especially loved the heroines, two hilarious and lovingly drawn characters who face the trials and tribulations of mid life with humor spunk. Two thumbs up!
