Tongue In Chic

Based on the fact that this is the second book in this sexy series, I thought it would be as sassy and sharp as the first one. But as soon as the characters adjusted to the 'lying-to-each-other' scheme, it stopped making any sense at all. I would describe it as old-fashioned, in the sense that whatever the characters did was not typical for a 21st century plot. The way the hero starts instantly caring about her is almost medieval, and despite the fact that Meadow is described as a 'free -spirit' and is an artist, some of the things she said or did just seemed silly. Doubt that anyone who went to Stanford could be less worldly. The least believable part is that she would leave her cancer-ridden mother for more than a week, and actually be able to enjoy herself (in the hands of the hero, of course) and not feel conflicted about it at the same time. That is just plain unreasonable, and so is deliberately having unprotected sex, as if this was the 1800s. Giving it three stars just because I love some of the other Dodd books and because writing was good (if we forgot the story was set in 2007). I expected something totally different though.

I read this book back in high school. I then lost my paperback version, so I've been searching for this book since. And with forgetting the title and who it was by... I has little luck til now. I loved this book so much that I continued to look for it all these years

Anything by Christina Dodd, you must read, her stories are so good
