Overview

Natalie Quackenbush is approaching thirty, drowning in debt-and living with her parents. It's the kind of small talk she'd rather avoid. So she and her friends have found a way to entertain themselves on the Scottsdale, Arizona, singles scene: lying. Which isn't a problem-until Natalie finally meets a guy she likes.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Nearing 30, Natalie Quackenbush lives with her parents while enduring her second year of teaching high school English in Scottsdale, Ariz. To entertain themselves, Natalie and her gal pals down margaritas at the local bar, and as the tequila takes effect, they tell other patrons lies about their backgrounds and jobs. When Natalie realizes her latest victim is actually a pretty nice guy, she's already spun him a couple of tall tales. For much of the book, he thinks she teaches at a women's prison and only lives with her parents because her mother has Alzheimer's. This is meant to be funny, but falls flat, as do most of Snow's other stabs at humor. The fluffy boilerplate plot compounds the problem, and although Snow (Been There, Done That) trots Natalie through the requisite motions of character growth, the novel's pleasures are few. (Jan.)

    Something easy and quick to read... but beyond that, not much.

    Kinda of silly, and predictable... Easy summer/beach/weekend read. I wouldn't buy it at regular price, only if it's bargain priced.

    Silly

    This book was predictable and without depth. It is a silly summer read that drags on and off.

    Getting Warmer

    Enjoyed this one, but geared to a slightly younger audience. Probably late 20'S TO 30'S. Descriptions were accurate to the local, and characters were "characters"!
