This Book Is Very Realistic

I loved this book. As a matter of fact, as of this writing, it is my favorite chick lit book! I took this book with me when traveling for two weeks in Europe and I experienced so many things Jadie and her friends experienced. I identified SO MUCH with different characters in the book--their emotions, their opinions, their interests. Things that they'd say, I would have said too--verbatim! This is by far one of the most intelligent chick lit books ever made. The only flaw is the title is a misnomer; it should have been called something like, "The Girls' Global Guide to Travel". And it certainly gives an accurate description of the traveling! Kudos and very well done Theresa Alan!!

Another Smash Hit!!!

As an avid fan of "Sex and the City," I'm constantly looking for stories that fill my need for smart, sassy, empowered, and real women. Ms. Alan is a top writer for her genre, and does an amazing job of creating characters that women can relate to and a story that you can't help but getting pulled into. If you love and miss "Sex and the City", then I recommend that you read all of Ms. Alan's other literary treasures which include, "Who You Know" and "Spur of the Moment." I hope Santa will bring me the entire Theresa Alan collection!!!

The Girls' Global Guide to Guys

This is the first book I have read from Theresa Alan. This book is by far one of the best books I have read. I hope to read more of her books in the future.

Made Me Want to Hop on a Plane and Fly to Europe...

If you've ever been curious about what it's like to visit many of Europe's hot spots, you'll love this book. Jadie Peregrine is tired of her boring office job. She desperately wants to break into writing full-time, but so far she's had little luck. The city of Boulder, CO that she lives in is just not prime dating ground either - she's had nothing but miserable dating experiences. What she wants to do more than anything is take off and travel through Europe. But how can she afford it? While pondering this very question, she is suddenly hit with an idea: what if she were to travel the world and write a book on the differences and similarities of dating in other cultures and countries? Jadie manages to get the time off from work and gather her best friend Tate, and together they head to Europe, starting in London. What follows is plenty of adventures, meeting men, interviewing locals on dating customs, and soon Jadie has found someone she thinks may be the man of her dreams. Tate meanwhile doesn't seem to be thrilled with the men she encounters, although many of them are nice. Will she find someone she likes? Will Jadie manage to write the book she planned? Will she discover dating in other countries is the same as dating in Colorado? I loved The Girls' Global Guide to Guys. It was a fun way to go along with the characters to the many countries and cities they explored. Author Theresa Alan is very descriptive when portraying many of the foods the characters ate and the atmosphere of the many different places. Several chapters of the book are devoted to following the characters around to different places, but it soon heats up after that. Jadie was great as a main character - she was funny, realistic and smart. The only downside to the novel was that the plot was a tiny bit unrealistic at times. Overall, however, I highly recommend this novel to all chick lit fans and to anyone who has ever thought about taking a trip abroad. This is a wonderful and fun read not to be missed!
