19) Who's That Girl by Alexandra Potter 2 weeks ago

“If only you knew then what you know now…”

Oh, i wish…

Potter’s done it again… she managed to articulate a fantasy intertwines with reality splendidly in an interesting plots and events which unravel perfectly in line. If you enjoy reading me and mr darcy, you’ll find yourself enjoying this book as well.

And i love that alexandra leaves a note, especially number 10;
‘at 21 you are more powerful than you can ever imagine’
taking this note to myself.

18) Me and Mr Darcy by Alexandra Potter 3 weeks ago

I seriously never thought that Potter literally meant Mr Darcy as in Mr Darcy himself in the book’s title Me and Mr Darcy. but it could be a pun as well. And yeah, so reality gets mixes up with fantasies. And you love your fantasies. but the truth is, do you really want your fantasies to get real?

“Every girl is looking for her Mr Darcy. Imagine if you found the real one…”

Potter is hillarious, she gives me the Kinsella vibe, i just can’t stop laughing with every paragraph and line that she manages to twist into funny little remarks. Heck, Emily is even worse than Becky! she just so stubborn and her desire to do something and the way she thinks is beyond believable. hilarious and fun it is.

Potter also manages to unravel the story with certain similarities and remarks regarding the muse book itself (why, it is Pride and prejudice).. i love that bits of it.

oh gosh, because of this book (which i really love and enjoy), i think i’m starting to love Potter as well… more potter books to come!

17) Everyone worth knowing by Lauren Weisberger 3 weeks ago

This book is wild. It tells the partying, the indulgence in bad pleasure, the drugs and alcohol involved, the “intimate” relationships, and despite it’s lack of description, all in all it can summed up to, well, quite wild. it tells a story of ‘what happens when a girl on the fringe enters the realm of new york’s chic, party-hopping elite’.

but what left me quite unsatisfied is, even by the end of the book, certain things were left hanging, for example Philip. aren’t people curious what happened to him? oh well maybe just me. and the other thing that i’m quite confused is how the story is very mixed up, weirdly mashed up together, as if one element is simply just jumbled up with another element. and also how one phase of a relationship suddenly progressed crazily and suddenly into another phase.

Regardless, i still like this book as it gives me an insider of how (if any parts of it is true), one ‘elite’ would socialize and partying and it sounded so wild and out-of control, that i feel so bad that they seem don’t have a purpose in life, and the way they treat other people, their attitude, their life, i’m glad i’m not in any part of it. But nevertheless, this book introduces to me a way of life some are living and i enjoy reading this book.
