REVIEWS
Armed with all the pop psychology she can get her hands on—and with the help of a dear friend who can recite Cosmo-style stats by heart—Joan sets out to cultivate her inner Jennifer: a sexy, successful belle-of-the-ball who's completely in charge of her professional and private lives. But "Project Jennifer" is not a rousing success right out of the gate—apparently, even Jennifers can have bad dates and wardrobe malfunctions—but soon Joan begins to feel transformed by her new self. In fact, her Jennifer persona might end up teaching her a few unexpected lessons about life: like how to say "yes" to things you want and "no" to things you don't, and that just being yourself is enough. Even if that self is named Joan...

Rosenblatt's debut novel is a breath of fresh air, and a hilarious, fast read. Her quick-witted style of writing makes the book go by quickly, and Joan is a wonderful character to read about. Her plight will resonate with many women, I'm sure, and will provide a great character for them to relate to. The secondary characters are just as much fun to read about, and I gotta say that Joan's friend Carrie is my favorite secondary character. Pretty much everything she said made me laugh out loud, and whenever she talked about her past with various men, it was just so funny. Just an amazing chicklit debut- definitely check this book out!
