Asking for Trouble

Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney were "Kat" and "Nick".Yes,Duplicitous Is a great word to describe Why "Kat" in the film did what she believed forced to Follow through.By not keeping the same names as the characters in book and tweeking readers into "false" feelings of the same book to film is not my cup o' tea.The film,based on this book is a "bit o' crack".{Fun for those not knowing the British slang}.Film is witty,a great Supporting Cast w/Holland Taylor,Amy Adams and a slew of British Actresses&Actors many will recognise and Delight in trying to recall where they were seen and what Film{s}.Glad I read review prior to purchase of Book.Film is a more even easy to follow Reasoning of Events.Top Notch and Own the Film...

I usually stick to such kinds of books... light, easy-to-read and fun.

And I must confess I had a good laugh with this one.

Of course it is difficult not to remind you of similar books (like Bridget Jones and the like) but somehow Sophie manages to be cool the same time she is desperate for a man.

She manages to remain decent and not at all pathetic. She handles her private "drama" very subtly, mostly because she thinks she is a lost case.

And the whole scenario-setup is quite intelligent.

A nice-to-read book.

Can be "eaten-up" in 1 day!

I enjoyed the English charm and humor of this book. Sophy and Josh seemed so real, I could relate and understand everything they did. Elizabeth gave her characters a lot of life and freshness. This book is not at all like the movie at all, its better!

enjoy!!!

The book was okay, but I really loved the movie. There are major differences in the book that completely change the tone. First of all, she's British and more closely resembles Bridget Jones than her movie counterpart. You see a lot more of her friends in the novel.

Also, she seems thoroghly preoccupied with her weight. She is not described to look anything like Debra Messing, but rather an overweight "squishy" girl, which is completely fine, but it is not fun to read abotu her obsessing about her weight while downing a box of chocolate cigarettes.

The writer is British, I believe, so it has more of the British slang, which at first is a little confusing. It's not Thackeray, mind you, but don't expect any American tones.

Their relationship is more drawn out, which is fun to read.

Still, what I remember most was how we envision all the characters (Domonic included) as a little chunky. They aren't size 0 models, we get it! Now get over it!

this book is fabulous! it's hilarious and the heroine is not your usual dasmel in distress, she's ver easy to relate to. the plot is fantastic and pulls off a happy ending without being corny! i love this book!

Although the book had its charming moments, it was too long. As I read I felt an increasing sense of dread about what Sophy was doing. It was almost painful to watch her lie constantly while digging herself an even bigger grave. Like I said, it did have its fun moments, but if you were impressed by the movie, I wouldn't ruin that feeling by reading the book. If you read the book before seeing the movie, you might be more impressed than I was, but overall I found it bland and very unbelievable. Watch the movie- it's a bit more understandable and a much better version!

As an English as second language reader, this book is simple and easy to read. Elisabeth Young really presents a simple, enjoyable and can not wait to the end book.

I have seen the movie, and I think contain between movie and book are not the same. However, both have own attention point.

I bought the book because I have seen the movie earlier.

For me, I still prefer the movie. Maybe if I read the book first, my opinion can be different.

I bought this book because the movie "Wedding Date" was a great "girly" Movie! And I love them!!! The book started a bit slow...maybe, I had to adjust to the British culture...but then I was soooo into it! At various points I was laughing very loudly!! A great fun book! I loved the banter and "Play" between Sophy and Josh. Can't wait to read another book by Elizabeth Young!!! And I'm passing the book along to my younger sister! She'll love it as much as I did!

I really got involved with the characters in this book and when I only had 80 pages left to read, I couldn't put it down to get to bed on time! I look forward to seeing the movie, The Wedding Date, which is based on this book.

I picked this book up at the local Supermarket to take along with me on a week-long trip....I could not put the book down! I also read some of it while at work and found myself laughing out loud to the comedic way Elizabeth Young writes her books! Great topic and way to make a reader relate! I definitely recommend this book!

This book was made into the movie "The Wedding Date" with Debra Messing as the delightfully sarcastic Sophy who has to produce a charming, successful, ideal boyfriend to show up with at the wedding of Sophy's "perfect" sister Belinda.

"Asking for Trouble" is a wonderful read. The things this girl does to appease her nagging mother are amazing. And the fact that she completely blows off the guy she is madly in love with is crazy!!! I definitely recommend this book for a good laugh and an even better ending.

This is the first "Chick Lit" book I ever read... and now I have read it 5 times! I absolutely love it, and it has hooked me on chick lit FOREVER! The heroine is hilarious! I love how she overanalyzes everything... women everywhere do. The plot is origional and has some very good twists.

This is the book that I hold all other up to and think, "Will I have close to as much fun as when I read 'Asking for Trouble'?"

Excellent novel - thoroughly enjoyed it however it definitely was not as per the movie - The Wedding Date - on which the movie was based. Bit disappointed in that respect however was a good book. It would appear however that I now have to purchase another book to get the Wedding Date movie book

A good book, recommendable for a lazy summer day. I couldn't put it down - if only to find out what the next plot twist would be. At times its a little much, but as it is a entertainment only type book it does its job quite well.
