Product Description:
From the author of Been There, Done That.

Natalie Quackenbush is approaching thirty, drowning in debt-and did she mention she lives with her parents? It's the kind of small talk she'd rather avoid. So she and her friends have found a new way to entertain themselves on the Scottsdale, Arizona singles scene: lying.

It's an innocent game, but when Natalie meets a guy she actually likes-and wants to see again-how will she explain that her mother isn't actually insane? Or that she doesn't really work with convicted murderers? If she can find a way out of her lies without destroying this fragile new relationship along the way, she might just wind up with something real.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun and easy read!
I picked up this book by chance at my library and once I started it I couldn't put it down. It's a great fun and easy read and I finished it in a few days on my beach vacation. It had the right mix of romance, friendship, family, fun, and teaching woes!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun new author
Carol Snow has a great sense of humor and has a promising career ahead of her. This book is much better that the typical "chick lit" that's out there about shopping, shoes and sex. Fun story about some 20-something women who get into trouble after telling lies to guys at happy hour. Very sweet and funny.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Heeee-larious!
I loved, loved, LOVED this book. Laugh out loud funny! Once I picked up this book I couldn't put it down.

There's a bit of Natalie in most of us. I love Carol Snow!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Warmed up to This One Immediately
Although it's fairly predictable, this book is a delightful read and I found it hard to put down. Once again, Carol Snow has created a main character that many women can relate to - a smart, more-or-less motivated gal on a career path she's not all that sure about, who tells an innocent lie that could end up costing her a shot at true love. Although much of the tale is pretty predictable, some pleasant surprises are planted here and there. A really fun jaunt.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - As an English teacher, I couldn't put it down!
I picked this book up at a Virgin Megastore when I was on my honeymoon and couldn't put it down. The characters are well developed and the dialogue is witty and hilarious at times. As a teacher, I could empathize with Natalie's day-to-day life. She spends most of her free time grading papers and trying to figure out whether she even wants to be a teacher. Her interactions and margarita nights with her colleagues illustrate how every new teacher gets through it. Natalie tries to balance her job, ... Read More
