Book Description
The only constants in reporter Savannah Phillips's life are her best friend Paige, her workplace tormenter Joshua, her steady father—and her crazed mother. In spite of that, she agrees to take a Florida vacation with her parents and enjoy some seaside "rest and relaxation" for a week. What could possibly go wrong? First, Savannah had to lie to her boss. (Sort of.) Then her parents had a fight. (They never fight.) The pint-sized lapdog that is treated better than she is has thrown up. (Twice.) Their family vacation hasn't even started...and she’s ready to go home. No one in her right mind would actually choose to spend a week at the beach with a steel-Magnolia drama queen, a tragically disappointed diva-in-training, and a yapping, hurling, supremely annoying little canine princess. But Savannah loves the beach, so she came. Then she runs into the gorgeous, exasperating Joshua North. . .and watches her good sense slide rapidly south. Which goes to show that even with a tan and (maybe) a new man in her life—she’s still the same old Savannah from Savannah. Told in the wry voice of an adult child of a drama queen, Denise Hildreth’s Savannah series is packed with humor, love, and wisdom—with a southern accent. Charming contemporary fiction Part of the Savannah series: Book 1: Savannah from Savannah Book 2: Savannah Comes Undone Book 3: Savannah by the Sea Includes discussion questions for book clubs

Pages : 354
Book Description
A harried single mother of two young children in London, Ally James is less than thrilled with her lackluster life. Her job marketing marmalade is a yawn fest and the domestic front seems to streak by in a flash of fish sticks and school runs. To top it all off, Ally’s ex-husband David seems to have a never-ending roulette wheel of rotating girlfriends, while Ally has endured two meager (and disastrous) dates in as many years. Then there’s David’s newest arm-candy, Chantal, who is the first flavor-of-the-month to ever meet the kids–that must mean it’s serious. Ally’s friend Mel is sure she has the solution to the malaise: a Market Yourself dating seminar. It’s either the perfect way to find a new man or the first sign of the apocalypse–Ally isn’t sure which, but she decides to give it a whirl. What happens next is stranger, and more invigorating, than Ally could ever have imagined.

Chick Lit and Postfeminism
Author: Stephanie Harzewski
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813930758
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Originally a euphemism for Princeton University’s Female Literary Tradition course in the 1980s, "chick lit" mutated from a movement in American women’s avant-garde fiction in the 1990s to become, by the turn of the century, a humorous subset of women’s literature, journalism, and advice manuals. Stephanie Harzewski examines such best sellers as Bridget Jones’s Diary The Devil Wears Prada, and Sex and the City as urban appropriations of and departures from the narrative traditions of the novel of manners, the popular romance, and the bildungsroman. Further, Harzewski uses chick lit as a lens through which to view gender relations in U.S. and British society in the 1990s. Chick Lit and Postfeminism is the first sustained historicization of this major pop-cultural phenomenon, and Harzewski successfully demonstrates how chick lit and the critical study of it yield social observations on upheavals in Anglo-American marriage and education patterns, heterosexual rituals, feminism, and postmodern values.
