I just devoured my Entertainment Weekly that focuses on all upcoming summer entertainment: movies, music, and books. I added a bunch of books to my wish list once I finished this issue, and after I looked at what I added - it seems most of them are of the chick-lit variety.
Entertainment Weekly describes this book as Lord of the Flies + Miss America + Lost = sarcastic, hysterical fun. Kindle download, DONE.
Summary: The fifty contestants of the Miss Teen Dream Pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner.
What’s a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program- or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan- or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?
This is about two work friends who discuss their love lives and other personal matters via company email...all which is monitored by the company IT guy. This sounds like a fun book to read because it's definitely something I've caught myself occasionally doing and then wondering afterward who is reading my email.
Summary: In sweet, silly, and incredibly long digital missives, best newsroom pals Beth and Jennifer trade gossip over their romances—Beth with her marriage-phobic boyfriend, Chris, and Jennifer with her baby-mania-stricken husband, Mitch. What they don't know is that the newly hired computer guy, Lincoln, an Internet security officer charged with weeding out all things unnecessary or pornographic, is reading their messages. But lonely Lincoln lets the gals slide on their inappropriate office mail and gets hooked on their soapy dalliances, falling head over heels for the unlucky-in-love Beth.
An epilogue to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series that catches us up with the girls 10 years later. I didn't read the entire Traveling Pants series and only read the first book, but it was such a fun, light read...hopefully this one will be the same. And hopefully it will be better than the last "10 years later" book I read (Sweet Valley Confidential).
Summary: Despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn’t take. Bridget lives with her longtime boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can’t seem to shed her old restlessness.
Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion that they all breathlessly await. And indeed, it will change their lives forever—but in ways that none of them could ever have expected.
