RELEASE NOTES:
Pulled this from the bookbox. The very first sentence on the back cover hooked me:
"Jemima Jones is overweight."
I think you can guess what my New Year's Resolution is... hopefully Jemima will inspire me to shed a few pounds. :)

Although I wasn't too keen on the constant switching from first person to third person narrative, this book hooked me pretty quickly. The main character and I have quite a few things in common:
She's J. Jones, I'm J. Jones
She's a writer for a small newspaper, so am I.
She writes a Household Tips column, I write an Activity Tips column
She's overweight, I'm overweight
She exercises and loses weight, I exercise and.... don't lose weight. :(
Still, it was a fun read and I found Jemima very likeable. Of course, since I just stated how similar we are, of course I found her very likeable! :)
I'll save this for a Chick Lit Bookbox coming to my house soon.
