Let Them Eat Cake

2.5 stars
Well, I don't tend to like chick-lit, and this pretty much is. A light-hearted, easygoing story, with Lexi at the helm. I did find myself getting bored with the continual irresponsible financial choices she's always making. While I identify with the angst of budgeting, you don't quit paying on your car payment in order to get a new outfit or two or three. Lexi kept making choices that made me cringe with the idea of the consequences that they could have. She's also more than a bit boy-crazy.

One thing I particularly loved was the inclusion of receipts, notes, emails, and such in the text. It lent it more of a feel of looking over Lexi's shoulder into her personal journal, which gives a really fun vibe to the story.

One thing that really bothered me, and caused me to round my rating down instead of up, was the inclusion of a flat-out profanity in French on page 113. Just because it's in French doesn't make it cool.
