 She is awesome! May 8, 2009
Micca Burris (Bryant, AR)
Let me say that I love Kristin Billerbeck!! She is funny, and keeps me entertained through all of her books. I was hooked after the first one, and was waiting when this one came out. Get this and any of her books you can get your hands on!

I won't be reading any more of kristin's books. The first one I read, I enjoyed. I thought it might be slightly anti-catholic, but thought that could be my slant.
After reading this one, it seems to me that I am accurate although it is put in a very tongue in cheek way.

This is my third experience reading Kristin Billerbeck's books, and I can always count on her books to give me a good laugh. And while there's a good dose of humor in this book, The Trophy Wives Club deals with a very difficult topic: divorce. I cannot imagine being blindsided with a divorce after being married to a man I thought loved me, but apparently, never did. This is exactly what Haley Cutler experiences, and this book follows her journey of self-discovery.
Personally, I know I would've immediately reached for the tub of chocolate frosting as well as had a TV marathon with Maury and Judge Judy just like Haley did. But I also know that after a few days of doing that, I would realize that it's time to try to turn my life around. The good news for Haley is that she has a wonderful new group of friends from a local church--The Trophy Wives Club--who have experienced everything that she is just now getting a taste of. Through these great friends, Haley turns her life around dramatically, and has a few things handed to her that I thought weren't very realistic. Honestly, how many people do you know that have million-dollar condos that they don't live in, and will let you live there rent free? Not to mention, friends that have connections in the film industry, and just happen to have a job waiting for you?
Overall, I liked the premise of the story, and I definitely had a good laugh (blondes walking into walls is a hilarious mental image). But as I kept reading, this book slowly kept going downhill. In addition to the things I just mentioned, I have to admit that the ending ruined the book for me. I already knew how it would end, but I was so hoping for something different from everything else out there.

Billerbeck gives a sweet fulfilling read with this book. The main character Haley is well written. This story offers several surprises along the way from boy meets girl -girl hates boy- girl falls for boy. The pace is steady with few lulls and dialogue refreshing and funny. The cute Christian romance lover will love it and you might too.
Good Story but doesn't flow January 21, 2009

Kristin Billerbeck is one of my favorite authors. I loved her Ashley Stockingdale and Spa Girls series. And Split Ends was wonderful.
I just received this book as a gift. And while the ideas in the book are great and the story interesting, I was very, very disappointed in the execution of this story.
It seemed disjointed to me. As if a lot of vital information was left out. Kristin usually gives more insight into her heroine and how she gets from point A to point B.
Anyone else feel the same way about this book?
