Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-07 00:00:00 Mike D. Wiethorn After reading Jill Smolinksi's "The Next Thing on My List," I was very eager to read more by this author so I picked up "Flip-Flopped." While it was a good, easy read, I found this novel harder to get into, perhaps because I felt distanced from all of the characters. Usually in a chick-lit type book, I can relate to the heroine or main character, but in this case, I was very detached from her. The book also had a number of different themes running throughout--with plot lines pertaining to everything from divorce and volcanoes to weddings and Davy Jones--and I felt that not all of them were tied up in the end. "Flip-Flopped" left me wanting more from the story, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is; however, I am not sorry that I read it and I definitely want to read more from Jill Smolinksi.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-06-22 00:00:00 John G. Mullen If you like chick lit... this is pretty good. The story of a mainlander, Keely, that goes to Hawaii to study volcanos and meets, has a kid with, and marries a native Hawaiin. Hubby (Kam) cheats... so they are in the middle of a divorce... sometimes nasty, sometimes sweet... Keely meets Ian while in line to get Davy Jones' autograph... The guy I was rooting for didn't win which makes me a little sad, but it was entertaining... easy, and cute/quirky and throw in a fairly extinct volcano acting up and you get a few good laughs... I probably could have done wihtout the whole Davy Jones thing - lol... but whatever... beachy read for sure.
