Summary: 4 Stars
I typically don't read comedic books, but was recommended to read this and I think it was a good choice.
I thought Liv Kellerman was a funny character and enjoyed her whiny, yet very spunky attitude. She didn't want hand-outs but sulked a lot. A funny...and, come on women, very normal combo.
The story-line in general I would categorize as a page turner filled with light humor. I enjoyed how BELLE brought many characters full circle. Her first employer, the blind judge, with this hilarious comments about her to his date. Dale, the manly woman she works for as a real estate agent, coming up strategically toward the end. A co-worker she hates comes back along with her worst client following in her footsteps. The one person I wanted to hear more about at the end was the infamous Andrew. Could've used a little more of a tie-up with him. After their "incident" together you don't really hear anything more about him.
The only reason I rate it with a 4 instead of 5 is I'm not one for all the language. I think it would've been just as funny without all the f-bombs...but that's just me.
I think it would be a hilarious romantic comedy film (Maggie Gyllanhaal would be a great Liv) and could actually be translated pretty well into a sit-com series called "High Maintenance". I haven't read "Going Down" yet but will purchase soon. Looking forward to future books from BELLE...
