Customer Reviews

Blindsided.

I'd read enough from this author to know she is talented and witty. And I'm a man who doesn't mind reading romance or women's fiction novels, so I opened the first page expecting a good read. Instead I got a great read. THe author sucked me ain't and held me there. So much so I carried this book with me to work and got busted by my supervisor twice for reading. I didn't care I had to finish. Throw out the notion that all romances are predictable or that it's clear from chapter one which boy will get the girl. Forget the ridiculous notion that men can't read a book billed as romance. Toss aside you're preconceived notion and let the author take you on a great tongue in cheek ride that is both heart warming and hilarious. This novel might even change the way you view the world around you.

Heart wrenching; funny; intelligent; must read!

If you mix the movies Ghost and Wristcutters with Samantha Hunt's novel, The Invention of Everything Else, you get Erica Orloff's Freudian Slip. It is not your usual run-of-the-mill romance and definitely exceeds the genre well into the stratosphere. Freudian Slip is written with extreme intelligence. Kudos to Ms. Orloff for her mastery of the craft. The Invention of Everything ElseWristcutters - A Love StoryGhost (Special Collector's Edition)

a good surprise

I have never read this author before & I was in the book store yesterday 5 minutes from closing I could not find anything to read, so I grabbed this book because I loved the shoes the girl on the cover was wearing. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. The story was different and fresh, you didn't read the first chapter and know exactly how it was going to end. Jules was a perfectly flawed hero. Not only was it a fun book to read, after I put it down I wanted to discuss it with someone because it raised so many interesting questions; Is GOD female? Is there such a thing as soul mates? This book is definitely a keeper.

Another great book by Ms. Orloff

I absolutely LOVED this book. I must admit that it isn't normally something I would have read but being a big fan of Erica Orloff's I of course picked it up. The whole story is fantastic! I really enjoyed the whole idea of soul mates, do they exist and are they meant to be for real or only a dream of one. The ending was great and not entirely expected because I thought it might go in a different direction but either way would have been fine with me. I laughed out loud trying to imagine Albert Einstein in a bar listening to ABBA and the thought of a female higher power was a good idea too. I look forward to the next wonderful book by Ms. Orloff.

Funfest!

So fun to read - this book is a little detour from Orloff's typical novels, including all the substance & romance typical of her books and adding in whimsy and humor to make the book addictive fun! A book that questions the meaning of life and our own mortality - along with Albert Einstein in drag ... need I say more?
