Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “Are Hester Browne and Sophie Kinsella best friends, twins, something? The Little Lady and Shopoholic series are sooo similar. I have never read two series that were so alike. I actually like the Little Lady series better, but because I read the Shopoholic series first I feel like Hester Browne...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“The Little Lady Agency was absolutely fantastic, but I found this sequel to be rather disappointing. I still think it should be read, because the third book was pretty good. Stick it out.”

“I really liked The Little Lady Agency and thought I would read the second one. I was not disappointed. I enjoyed it as well. ”

“"The second in a series (after The Little Lady Agency) following a woman who runs an agency offering "girlfriend services" to the bachelors of London. No, not those services -- etiquette advice, shopping for clothes, going to Friday night dinners with their Mum. In the first book our heroine, Melissa Romney-Jones (a.k.a. Honey Blennerhesket) started up her agency and ended up falling in love with one of her customers, Jonathan Riley.

In this book, Jonathan, a highly placed real estate executive, has to go to New York on business for a few months. For various reasons, he brings Melissa along on the trip. Viewing the series as one story in three parts, this is the book of complications. Jonathan, who is allowed to fall into the easy role of "charming American heartthrob" in the first book is revealed to be - gasp! - a real person! Melissa's roommate Nelson, who seemed to have settled down happily with Melissa's friend Gaby, quickly becomes un-settled - a fact that unsettles Melissa quite a lot, for reasons that won't be addressed until the next book. Melissa's family, never exactly a paragon of stability, begins unraveling with enough speed to rival a Bugatti Veyron (Google that if you don't watch Top Gear).
And yet...for the book with all the complications, this is really quite...boring. It doesn't help that I spent the entire book angry with whoever was on the page I was reading - Jonathan for being controlling, Melissa for being blind, Nelson for being a mute idiot, or Gaby for being....Gaby. As a book unto itself, this would be a real disappointment. As the link between two otherwise fun and entertaining novels, it's just barely acceptable. My advice: read it quickly and dive right into the third book. Or, you know, just ask me for a plot summary. Really."

“This book was just slow for me. I just couldn't get into it or the characters. The family seemed unbelievable and not real.”

“I can't believe I missed this one last year. I loved the first one! I was hoping Honey would get to work on a few more bachelors and that Melissa would pick up some more Honey-ness, but it's still a good story.”

“So, I liked this book but not as much as part 1 (The Little Lady Agency). The main character's fun personality seems to get lost a bit in this book so it's not quite as good of a read, but definitely still good enough that I'm going out to get book 3 to read...the author has a funny, unique voice.”

“I did not enjoy this book as much as I had the first. It's almost like the second book was simply written based on the popularity of the first. In this book Jonathan isn't the same great guy that he was in the first. I will not be reading the third book and have since decided to pretend that the first book is the only book. To each their own :)”
