Bet Me & Faking It by Jenny Crusie pun ok jugak. Romance diaorg believable, especially Bet Me. Buat kita terfikir, Hey, that could happen to me!!

Bet Me : This is New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Crusie's novel about long shots, risk management, true love, and great shoes. . . .

Minerva Dobbs knows how to work the odds.
Calvin Morrisey always plays to win.

But when they face off, neither one is prepared.
Because when real life meets true love, all bets are off. . . .

Minerva Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet, even if he is gorgeous and successful Calvin Morrisey. Cal knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs, even if she does wear great shoes and keep him on his toes. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again.

But fate has other plans, and it's not long before Min and Cal meet again. Soon they're dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a freakishly intelligent cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of. Including the biggest gamble of all---true love.

I tried reading Devil Wears Prada..hate it so much..nasib baik beli second hand..

nii description pasal chic lit
So What is Chick Lit?

Chick Lit focuses on twentysomething and thirtysomething women who are dealing with that time in life when a woman looks for the perfect guy, apartment, job or, yes, shoe. Along the way these women question everything from the way they were raised to the the quality of their lives. The characters typically are either self-deprecating or overly analytical. At its best the writing is witty, bold and slightly irreverent

and dia recommend few chic-lit novels:

nak sampuk... i've read both - lama dulu, bridget jones diary masa tu tgh top of the list in UK thn 1997 kalau tak silap, the edge of the reason is the sequel to bridget jones'; the latest of helen fieldings' is "oliver jules" kalau tak silap tajuk dia tapi lari 360 degree dr the previous 2 novels, macam science fiction lak, tak jadi beli; but i've njoyed both BJD n edge of reason - witty walaupun bridget ni kalut orangnya.

strawberry dah abis baca ke?
