LOL

Lette is a great comic author from Australia. Her writing style is deliberately "hiccupy" in order to illustrate her main characters bumbling lifestyle. Few books have made me laugh out loud like this one. Though I'm sure many may misunderstand her illustration of a may-december interracial relationship, yet as an African American woman myself, I found it hilarious.


Naughty but Nice

Becky is in her 30's and about to get married, but at the last minute...she asks herself, "Am I really ready to be with just one guy for the rest of my life?" No more one night stands? No more lustful encounters?" And this is where the book takes off...with Becky and her journey through love, lust, marriage, divorce, betrayal, friendship, and well LIFE!

Poor Julian, Becky's fiancée, doesn't know what hit him with Becky runs off with Zach, a new and upcoming rap star she meets in London - who is much younger than her to boot! Where will life take her? Who will she choose? Who will have her? Well, you will have to get this book because I am not going to give all of it away!

This book has everything and will have your head in a spin! Your stomach will hurt with laughter! I highly recommend this book! I can not wait to read my next book by Lette! If you like Brit Lit - you will most defiantly like this book (Lette is Australian, but the book takes place in London)

Darkly hilarious to the core!

Altar Ego is one of the funniest chick novels ever written! Rebecca Steele is the perfect anti-heroine - dissatisfied, obnoxious, adulterous - and she stumbles upon trouble throughout the novel as she makes one ill-fated decision after another.

Having jilted her lawyer fiance at the altar, Rebecca makes the added mistake of having a sizzling liaison with a gorgeous rap star. No sooner does she embark upon the affair than she discovers that her boy toy is one of her boyfriend's exclusive clients. With the help of her eccentric friends, Rebecca tries to figure out a way to get out of the situation without hurting anyone. Will her boyfriend find out? Will Rebecca be able to resist the rap star's tenacious nature? Will she ever grow up? There are some fun twists in the novel.

I roared with laughter at Rebecca's relationship angst and ironic humor. Kathy Lette is a great comic author. Her writing style is sort of sloppy, which makes it all the more entertaining. I couldn't put this book down and I look forward to reading more from this talented Australian author.

Jilting Julian at the alter, Becky embark's on a wild affair with a young rap star, who's as raunchy as hubby, a human rights lawyer, is stodgy. Complications arise, however, when Julian winds up representing Becky's new boy toy in an obscene lyrics suit and starts doing the horizontal tango with Becky's best friend. Will Becky get in touch with her Inner Adult? Will Julian learn to give good hedonism. Is it okay to have an affair with your own husband? Sex, lies, and relationships angst play out to hilarious consequences in this absolutely fabulous, sexy comic novel.
