Tulle Little, Tulle Late

I am a big reader of "chick lit." These novels tend to be slightly formulaic, but they're usually funny and escapist. This one threw me for a loop. The author, Kimberly Llewellyn, has a sharp, satiric voice, and the main character, Nina, is extremely likable. Some of Nina's actions are a bit shocking and unbelievable, and I almost put the book down midway through. The beginning hooked me right away, but during the middle chapters I wasn't sure where the author was going with the story. I'm glad I stuck with it, though, because the ending wrapped everything up neatly. Overall, this book was like cotton candy--while it had the potential to make me sick, in small doses, it was fluffy and pleasant.
