goodreads...
Pandora Ann Phillips' life is just normal-crazy
Her mom's a psychic, her dad's mom is a snob, her
mom's parental units are "too down to earth" and her best friends are
newlyweds. Okay, so her best friends being newlyweds isn't really abnormal, but
living with them in a cramped two-bedroom apartment definitely is. Sex, sex,
sex is totally on their minds. Actually it's not only on their minds, but it's
on the kitchen table, couch, on top of the washer...well, you get the picture.
Being a celibate (not by choice, mind you)
full-time college student, and an almost full-time barista, Pandora can't
afford to lose anymore sleep. So, she seeks out a new place to lay her head.
Enter three "drool worthy" male models that are looking for a fourth
roommate and they want her...and won't take no for an answer.
Hilarity ensues as Pandora's life turns
completely upside down, and she begins to wonder if it will ever be the same
again!
My take...
This was a good read. Not exactly a great one.
But a good one. I loved the storyline even though it was a bit much at times. A
couple things were repetitive. Let's get to that shall we?
I get Dora has red hair. But to be reminded every
other paragraph was overkill. And the author made it seem as if Dora was repulsive
with it. I know that is just the way Dora saw herself, but I actually think
that red headed girls are pretty. And the constant day dreaming or off in some
other thought had me wondering about Dora's mental stability. It was so
constant that if I heard 'Earth to Dora' one more time I was going to hurl my
nook across the room. Yes, it was that much.
Another part of the story that had me scratching
my head was the constant need to worry about the door man. Every time she
entered the lobby we had to hear if he was working or not. And then nothing
ever came of it. Unless of course I missed that part that explained the need to
inform us of his lack of employment. I don't know. That part was just too odd
for me.
Like I mentioned earlier, I did love the idea of
the storyline. I loved not knowing which of the guys liked Dora. It was definitely
a mystery in itself. It had me guessing if it was Colin, Liam, or Drew. Just
when I was wishing it was one guy, I would have a change of heart and start
wishing for another. I loved not knowing who it was…the fun is in the guessing.
I really wish I could say that I was in love with
this story, but it just wasn't there for me. I still would recommend it,
because I definitely didn't hate it. In fact, the last forth of the book I read
like a mad woman trying to see how it all would end for Dora and her mystery
man. Some parts were a little hard to swallow but all in all it was a good
read. 4 'Lucky' stars for me!
