Dear Ms. Kinsella,
Thank you for your novel Confessions of a Shopaholic. We are greatly relieved to inform you that we found it to be an easy, light, summer read.
However, due to the discerning tastes of our book club, we are unable at this time to give you any rating greater than a 7.5. Though we enjoyed the book as “chick lit,” we could not grant it status as “literature.” And even in the chick lit genre, we had to admit that it wasn’t the best we had read.
On a positive note, there were no ratings lower than a 6, which is something to be proud of indeed. Your keen British humor (or shall I say “humour”?) kept us chuckling throughout, and although some of us may have liked to see your main character transform herself, we settled for the realism that sometimes people don’t change but instead find circumstances under which they can survive.
In closing, we hope you will continue to pursue your passion for writing, but don’t expect this book club to hold its breath for your next offering.
Sincerely,
First Monday Reading Group
