The Girl Made of Cool- Book Review

Fox tells the story of a young man and woman who are falling in love with each other , but the young woman doesn't know it. She believes that she is falling in love with the man's far more handsome, more perfect friend. As the story unfolds and deepens, we see how these two highly talented young man must suffer, struggle , and wage battle to woo this young woman. ( Back of the book)



Ridley- boy
Jayne-girl
Chet- room mate

I had a tough reading this book and didn't connect to any of the characters at all.

Ridley is meets and falls in love with Jayne at first sight. Chet tries to woo Jayne too. Jayne was a pretty strong female. Chet would have conversations with an audience , and he is also seeing his secretary.

I think that it due to how the scenes were set up. It made it seem like a play or movie.

Many of the the characters conversations didn't seem real to me. I tried picturing the conversations , but no one talked liked that in real life. Some Conversations made sense but other didn't any sense.

There are 3 short stories in this book but I only read the The Girl of Cool.

You might like it but I didn't ...It was too disjointed for me and the conversations.

Book Review= 2 or 3 / 5

Thanks to the Author for the book and this is my Honest Review.

Invisible Boy-- Book Review

The smart -mouthed but sensitive runaway socialite Madeline Dare is shocked when she discovers the skeleton of a brutalized three year old boy in her own family's weed ridden cemetery outside Manhattan. Determined to see that justice is served , Madeline finds herself examining her own troubled personal history , and the sometimes hidden , sometimes all to public , class and racial warfare penetrating every level of society in the savage streets of New York City during the early 1990's.( Back of the book)

This was a good mystery and loved the time period 1990. It me thinking of when I was during that time frame.

Maddie Dare finds a skull in her family cemetery and wants to have justice done. She is married to Dean and works for a book catalog company. Maddie becomes friends with cop and does all that she can do bring justice to the little boy.

Maddie mom becomes engaged and married for the 4th time and she finds out family secrets from her sister and she has some too.

This is my first time reading this author-- I found the swearing to be a bit much and a distraction from the real story.

Book Review= 3


This book comes out March 30,2010 and Thanks to Grand Central for the book and this is my Honest Review.

Where I have Lived

Well I grew up a house in Milpitas and my dad built a big play house in the backyard for my sisters and I and I was there until 1st grade.

In 1st Grade we moved to a Court in San Jose and I lived there til I completed my junior year in High School. I have fond memories of that the house, elementary school, middle school, friends, church friends, parks, going to dances, going to Prom.

In my Senior Year, we Moved to El Dorado Hills and lived in Rental til my parents could figure out where to move next. We lived there for a couple years.

My parents then found a house in the same town and lived for some time more and we meet some great neighbors.

I moved out on my on to Utah and and lived with my Aunt and lived in the blue room. I was only there in Salt Lake City for 6 months. I'm not a Utah person. I had a job and got a new car.

Lived at home again but then decided to find room mates...by the time I had meet my DH, but I needed the experience of living with room mates.

Got married and lived for 2 months in his apartment..and then we moved to the duplex to live there for a couple years. We had our first baby living in the home, DH tried his new business. It was the start of the adventure.

Moved back in with my Parents for 16-18 months, so we could get our feet on the ground after the business went belly up, had baby number 2 , DH found out what he wanted to do for job besides Pest Control.

Moved into a Duplex and we lived there while DH went to school, dealt with mold. We lived there for 3 years, til he wanted to sell the place. I had baby number 3 in this home. ( I didn't do the home birth--but this where her first home was)

We moved in town to the White house..Everything was wrong with the house, bad driveway, DH was at his new job and liking the job field he was in. We lived there til the owner wanted to sell the house. We did get offered the house, but after living there....we didn't want it. I had baby number 4 at this house.

We finally became Homeowners and have been in the house since the time. We also had baby number 5. I love my back yard, and the neighborhood and the school district at times. Overall I have been happy with my kids teachers and DH has been happy at his job.

I guess I'm a California girl at heart except when I mentioned Utah.
