Book Description:
Twenty-six-year-old Nicci Bradford doesn't exactly love her job fixing the grammar in company brochures, or living in Boston, or going on awkward fix-ups with men she barely knows. What she does love is Kung Fu movies...especially the ones starring Jackie Chan. Their timeless and inspired wisdom offers her a philosophy of life. The problem is she doesn't have much of a life to philosophize about. But Jackie Chan is also a pretty good action hero. And when opportunity-and risk-present themselves in unexpected ways, it's up to Nicci to follow her hero's example, focus on her goal, and strike...
I bought this at a Goodwill store in Woodstock, Georgia. The title was just too interesting! I enjoy chick lit, so I will read this one and pass it on via Bookcrossing.

My Review: The cover of this book and the title makes you think this is light chicklit comedy. It's not. It's pretty serious. The main character is Nicci, she's at a cross road trying to decide what to do next. Leave her boring job? And do what? Her boyfriend seems perfect, but does he love her? Does she love him? Nicci has a lot of questions without answers.
Putting into the 15th round of Bookstogive's General Literature VBB.
This one wasn't chosen, so I'm taking it out of the VBB.
