Mieka Smiles, writer for the British paper The Journal, just gave the UK edition of Bright Side a terrific review! She writes: “Another chick lit book? Well, the answer is yes and no.

Katie in Florida gives Everyone is Beautiful a great review! She writes: “I loved this book. (Maybe even better than her first book, The Bright Side of Disaster, which I reviewed here.)

Kristjana, at the the Mommy Blog, just posted the sweetest blog entry about Everyone Is Beautiful.

Bookfinds just gave The Bright Side of Disaster a fantastic review! Here’s an excerpt: “Often, I find myself leaving books half-finished, growing weary with stilted prose or predictable plots.

The first blog review for Everyone Is Beautiful is in, and it’s great. Marcia at The Printed Page, starts her review like this: “This book is LOL funny in parts and tackles serious subject matter with a light hand and wisdom in others.
