YAY OR NAY WEDNESDAY
Well last week's Yay or Nay? prompted a unanimous Yay from all of you who commented - seems like Bridget has still got a place in everyone's heart (and quite right to I think!)
This week I've chosen a slightly more controversial book. Everyone I've ever spoken to about Jane Green's "Jemima J" has a strong opinion about it - so lets hear yours! Yay or Nay, and Why??

Controversially, I'm going to give it a Yay - just. I wouldn't say I enjoyed it and in parts I wanted to take Jane Green by the neck and strangle her, but I think anyone who's ever struggled with their weight should read it, if only for a bit of perspective.

love it love it love it, i know it's chick lit at its fluffiest, but whenever i feel feel bad, this is the book that i turn to. this was the first jane green i read, and it made me go on to read them all- although this is the one i like best still!

I haven't read it so I really shouldn't be commenting, but I hated Straight Talking and found Babyville tedious so I'm guessing it'd be a nay for me.

Big, Fat YAY! I'd have to say this was my first chick-lit book, and I couldn't put it down. However, I'm almost afraid to read any other chick-lit.

yay - I enjoyed it, BUT it was so unbelievable at times, ok most of the time. Good with a pinch of salt!

yay - I liked that Jemima got one over her annoying flatmates but came down to earth by the end. (I hope I'm thinking of the right book)

I know I'm late, but I thought this was a *horrible* book. The moral of the story appeared to be "get thin and you'll get your perfect man".
