Summary:
Best friends Dessy and Veronica arrive in
- Dress like you are the party.
- Explore the terrain. (Moderate stalking is totally allowed.)
- Be adventurous. And that means being prepared to hide in your suitcase.
- Ask questions that make your hot-dude feel smart.
- Gloss early, gloss often, and bring bum. Because a kiss can happen when you least expect it!
At first, Veronica's plan is working so well that Dessy thinks she might be a love genius. But soon it's clear that Operation Maneater has a few holes. Like its failure to anticipate crazy mixed signals--and worse, its mysterious tendency to plague a friendship with secrets and lies.
Well, no one ever said breaking hearts was a simple craft....
My Thoughts:
I adore the cover of this book. It is super cute and fun. Upon beginning to read this book I was surprised with the slow start. It was not what I was hoping or expecting to find. It took too long to really pick up, which messed up the plot for me. I felt kind of off and on about the characters. Sometimes I really liked them and others they were kind of blah. The romance in this book was super fun though. When things got moving it was much better. I recommend that all my chick-lit readers pick up a copy and head to the beach, or pool, or even the backyard.

I previously read Lost It by this author and was kind of underwhelmed by it. Still, I'd definitely give her other books a try. This one looks and sounds super fun and cute.
i love the front cover the icecream looks yummyx
Michelle said it exactly. I was underwhelmed by this. I jsut thought it was okay. Glad you liked it more than I did, though.
I feel like this is one of those books that has the cute cover that will totally draw me in, but as soon as I get started reading it, I'll think of it as a waste of time.
I did read Lost It by Kristen Tracy, but I didn't like that one much either. I might read this just because it seems good, but I won't be surprised if it disappoints me.
