Book - The Girl Most Likely To

Author - Susan Donovan

Susan Donovan is Disappointing.

After a series of serious books, I decided to take a break, and read something light... where I wouldn't have to use my brain, but which would be funny nevertheless... So, I picked up Susan Donovan's '...' , I read it, and I swore never to pick up another Susan Donovan ever!

I think I have seen too many Hollywood romantic comedies to appreciate anything in this book. There is hardly any novelty in the story (considering the book was first published as recently as 2009); I bet all the money in my pocket that you can predict, beyond an ounce of doubt, 90 percent of the story after about the first 50 pages. I think romantic comedies are terribly tough to write. They need to be engaging yet light, heart- warming yet funny. Romance is so full of clichés that it is difficult to come up with something truly original, something you haven't already read or seen a hundred times over.

Susan Donovan is an average writer. She doesn't have an especially nuanced or captivating style of writing; not to say it's insipid, but it isn't inspiring either. If you are looking for something intelligent, this is definitely not the book to choose. It is funny at times, but not hilarious... In fact, after a point, it gets too repetitive and redundant, which, together with some, I believe, unnecessary twists in the story, makes the narrative sluggish. There is truckloads of romance in this book, but that alone can't make the story compelling. Give this one a miss... I am not an avid reader of romantic books, but for anyone looking for a good contemporary, light- hearted romantic comedy to read, I would strongly recommend Cecilia Ahern... One of her most successful books, 'P. S. I Love You' was made into a successful movie... 'Thanks for the Memories' is another book worth adapting into a film...
