My Interest in
this book is: Loved the title and the premise, so had to give it a go!
My Review:
Living in the
suburbs of Houston, downing a bottle of wine on most evenings, Holly decided to
treat herself to a Cosmo quiz after the kids were in bed and her husband was on
a business trip. The result – “Stylish,
but Shallow.” This did not sit well with
Holly. What was wrong with her
life? She lived in a beautiful home, had
three great kids and a wonderful husband.
Just because she dropped the F bomb and downed wine like water was no
reason to call her shallow!
