This novella's writing was excellent! The story was hilarious, & DeTarsio has a great style. This story was really more of 3.5 stars. My problem, though, was that I couldn't stand the heroine. Funny as she was, I couldn't believe not only her willingness to be so completely infatuated with someone, but also her willingness to switch the object of her infatuation so quickly. Or rather, I could believe it, I just couldn't respect it. And I tend not to be a big fan of heroines I can't respect. (The other characters had similar issues. I actually ended up liking La-Ura the best.) The ending pretty much sealed her fate for me. Not ever gonna respect her, though there'd been hope before then.So though I wasn't fond of the heroine, the book itself was hilarious & well-written. I'll definitely try something else by DeTarsio, but I'll be disappointed if all her characters are like these. I easily could have given this book 4, or even 5, stars had I been able to respect the heroine a little.
If all that doesn't bother you, though, then definitely get this book. Even to me, it's certainly worth a buck.

'Til Somebody Loves You Romantic Comedy QuickPick edition by Dee DeTarsio Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I hate reading novellas that I REALLY, really like because they're too short. I didn't want this book to end. So funny and charming and relate-able. Recommending this to all my friends who are single or have been single...fun!! I've read both this authors books now and looking forward to more!
This story was absolutely fabulous. It was a fun read of a modern day fairy tale with a twist that will leave you in stitches. The author has a great sense of humor and I never laughed so hard. I can't wait to read more from this author.
This story by Dee DeTarsio is well-written and shows wit and warmth. The writing style is clever and engaging. It was this story that encouraged me to purchase Dee DeTarsio's other work. I would recommend this quick read.
I bought this because of the price (let's be honest) and the good reviews. I usually like chick lit, so I wasn't expecting an amazing quality, just some amusement while on public transportation. This short novella didnt make it for me, the story was uninteresting, the characters were hollow, (MaryBeth was just plain silly, impossible to relate to and don't let me start with Dean), the only half interesting character is La-ura, suposedly the vilain, who eventually shows some sense of humor. Me, known in my bus line as the girl-who-laughs-while-reading, didnt do it at all this time, I dont even think I smiled once. It's not a problem of shortness, even a full novella with these plot and characters would have been super boring. Shame, shame, I'll keep on looking for a new favourite author.
P.S. After this review, I got a mail from Ms de Tarsio that motivated me into giving her work another chance and so, I read 'the scent of jade'. I wish I had started with a proper book before, I really enjoyed it. Don't waste your time with this short story and go straight to her 'proper' novels.
I think the book was alright. It had some funny points, but it was also too short. I don't really feel like the was much time for a plot to develop. The ending was fairly vague. Also, the characters weren't fully formed. I think if the author would have made the book a little longer, there would have been more opportunity to not only describe the characters but also show their personality. Sometimes the action and emotion in the book wasn't written in enough detail to really make it show. The author is a good writer! Adding 25-50 more pages would've shown that a lot better. I will look to read a couple more books by the author. Hopefully they will better show the authors abilities.
Are you looking for a no brained? Something to just make you smile. This is the story. No characters to track. The setting is familiar, even if you've never really been there. No nightmares or creepy feelings to keep you awake. You can even turn the light out without checking the door locks, closets and under the bed.
Ph-uX!
No, that isn't what I thought of the book. It's the secret ingredient in `Rapunzel', a new perfume about to hit the market in this amusing and well-written story.
I have to admit the adventure ended too soon for me, but that small disappointment won't prevent me from looking forward to other tales by this author.
No spoilers here, but the book doesn't end in quite the way I was imagining it would. But that's okay. Dee DeTarsio has wonderful humor. There were a few times I cracked a smile and laughed out loud.
If you enjoy a bit of humor in your reading you can't go wrong with author Dee DeTarsio. However, don't expect a long read where the characters are developed over a period of time (countess pages). You'll need to use a bit of your own imagination to envision the people, but I think the author did a wonderful job at presenting a script for my mind's eye to follow.
Five stars all the way!
