Also, you may notice that there is a new layout on this website. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be adding all of my old reviews to this website as well as new ones. Stay tuned…
Hey everyone, I shut down my account at Myspace.com because it was hacked somehow. The person logged in and sent multiple messages to everyone on my friends list. So, if you got some spam, it wasn’t me. I would NEVER spam people, ever ever ever and am insulted that people would think I have done so.
Anyway, I figure - if Myspace can’t provide a safe and hack-free environment, why should I bother having an account there? All it did was generate even more ways for people to spam and annoy each other, anyway. Thousands of people had their accounts broken into in the past week - even celebrities.
In other news, the teen chick lit site has been revamped and redesigned… more on that later! This site is also in the process of getting revamped and rejuvenated.
There’s nothing like a marriage proposal to jolt you into reality and make you wonder what exactly you want out of life. When Becca Davis of Fashionably Late is proposed to by her longtime boyfriend Kevin, she accepts, but almost immediately realizes that it isn’t what she wants.
Instead, she decides to break the engagement and flee to Los Angeles to try and pursue her true passion of fashion design. She moves in with her sister and jumps into the industry bravely, not realizing how cut-throat and catty the industry is. She is forced to take a job at a restaurant to make ends meet while pursuing her dream.
Meanwhile, back home in Arizona, Kevin thinks that she will be back when she comes to her senses. What he doesn’t realize is that Becca has met someone else, sort of: the handsome Connor, who trades corny (but hilarious) pick-up lines with Becca, but who isn’t the type to settle down. Although he seems awfully interested.
With so many roadblocks and heartaches going on with both her personal life and career, Becca must figure it all out: what does she really want? What was she meant to do with her life?
As with Beth Kendrick’s other books, I thoroughly enjoyed Fashionably Late. It is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, crackling romantic tension, the ups and downs of following your dreams, and Kendrick’s signature witty, addictive writing style. She somehow manages to create characters that are so real, down-to-earth, flawed, yet at the same time endearing. Becca is a little clueless at times and doesn’t always make the right choices, she is easy to identify with and like.
Overall I highly recommend this to all Beth Kendrick fans, and to anyone who wants to read a great chick lit novel filled with style, humor, wit and a touch of romance.

Hey everybody! I have some bad news about the forums: I have so far been unable to resurrect them. Which means at some point soon I will just have to start over from scratch and recreate them.
I will be posting a couple of quick book reviews in the next few days as well and put up the new November 2006 books.
Here is a glance at the new October 2006 chick lit releases…
