Confessions of an Alli Cat

Confessions of an Alli Cat by Courtney Cole

My rating:

1 star—I didn’t like it.

My thoughts:

This book is SO YUCK!! The writing is bad and the plot is just horrible. Basically the main character sleeps with an escort who ends up being her boyfriend’s son in the end. The first 70% of the book is her graphically hooking up with the son. It was just so gross that I can’t even fathom how it has good ratings. Just ew.

And…candy apples are NOT PINK! The author said this several times. Her lips were candy apple pink. Her nails were pink like candy apples. Really?? And another thing. She would say, “I’m speechless” and immediately follow this with verbal dialogue.

 I could go on and on…but basically, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone!!

Description from Goodreads.com:

“Thirty-five year-old Allison “Alli” Lancaster has it all—a fabulous job, a beautiful 15 year-old daughter, a hilarious BFF and a gorgeous house with a pool and Jacuzzi in an exclusive Las Vegas neighborhood. What she doesn’t have is a husband, because she kicked her lousy, cheating ex to the curb nine months ago. Since then, Alli has paid her dues with seemingly endless self-improvement and seemingly endless mourning. Now she’s ready to move on and try new things.

Alli’s idea of “trying new things” is nothing like that devil-of-a-best-friend of hers. Somehow, Sara, the devil of a best friend, talks Alli into trying out a sex toy, sleeping with a younger man and letting a stranger in a lab jacket put hot wax on a place that should never, ever, ever see wax. And that’s only the beginning.

Alli never saw her life going quite like this. She also never thought she’d meet someone else who had the very real potential to change her life forever.

But she did.

Enter the new guy. He’s gorgeous, refined and mature. He’s also marriage material. But that poses a problem for Alli, who renounced the institution of marriage when she renounced her ex. What’s a girl to do?

They say that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But what the heck happens when you can’t leave Vegas? Well, you spin the wheel, of course. You play the game and let the chips fall where they may.

Alli just hopes she can find them all.”
