Getting Warmer by Carol Snow

OK so normally I like a good chick lit book as much as the next girl, in the same way I like a good chick flick; it's good to kind of zone out and enjoy without having to think too much. Unfortunately, this is not a good chick lit book - it's dull and predictable and completely unoriginal. Sadly, my book club picked Getting Warmer as our pick for December, with the best of intentions. We wanted something lighter than our usual fare and thought this would fit the bill. This is no Bridget Jones' Diary or even anything by Jennifer Weiner. This is the story of Natalie Quackenbush, an almost 30-year-old teacher living with her parents in Scottsdale, AZ. Natalie is a liar - she lies to men at bars and invents insane information about herself. Until the day she lies to a guy she actually likes, which cues the predictable chain reaction of events. There are no surprises here and if you are in the mood for something light, try something else on for size.
