The Right Address

So…I haven’t been on for awhile, however I have been reading away! The first book I read was The Right Address by Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman.

A funny side note…My friend and I trade our Chick Lit books back and forth. We’ve gotten into the habit of me buying one book and trading it with her for another and so on. We got together for dinner the other night and she mentioned that she had another book for me, but she’d forgotten to bring it. What book was it? The Right Address! I totally cracked up…Great minds think alike, right? Neither of us mentioned we were buying the book, we both picked it up on a whim!

So the book, I found a bit difficult to get into initially. I’m not sure what it was that caused the lack of focus. Part of it might have been that the subject is just so bizarre (all the more fun to read, but hard to grasp if you're living in reality)…The main character is trying so hard to gain acceptance by her peers that you almost don’t want to read about the situations she gets into for fear of her feelings and what the others might do to her. Her enemies make you want to slap them and although one doesn’t want to trust some of the characters...well...they all surprise you in the end. My friend and I both enjoyed the book...In the end it makes you remember what’s important in life. You have look past some language and some adult descriptions, but otherwise the book was pretty good.
