Why
we chose this book
While
some find the genre of Chick Lit to be somewhat derogatory, we love the
light-hearted, romantic novels. This fabulous collection of short stories
includes the best and brightest Chick Lit authors and offers a good cry
and a good laugh for everyone. ~Beth
From
Booklist
Originally started in the UK, the Girls' (and Boys') Night In collections
gather together hip fiction for the twenty- and thirtysomething sets. The
U.S. version collects 21 stories from such popular chick-lit authors as
Meg Cabot, Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, Isabel Wolff, Anna Maxted, and Lisa
Jewell. In Cabot's "Party Planner," Charity, an event planner at
the New York Journal, plans a bang-up company party that goes
disastrously awry, though her efforts don't go unnoticed by one handsome
supervisor. Sophie Kinsella's "Changing People" brings an old
boyfriend back into Sarah's life via a friend's new business scheme. In
Sarah Mlynowski's "Know It All," Shaun's psychic roommate allows
her to thwart fate's attempts to hook her ex-boyfriend up with a friendly
redhead. Jennifer Weiner's "Good Men" revisits Bruce Guberman,
the feckless ex-boyfriend of her heroine in Good in Bed (2001),
before the pair called it quits. Packed with stories from today's hottest
authors, and with proceeds going to the charity War Child, this collection
is a must-read for chick lit's many enthusiasts. Kristine Huntley
