This book was incredibly boring. I saw where things were supposed to be funny, but it just wasn't my humor. That and some of the technology things didn't make sense - it wasn't how it actually worked. Like Skype - in one scene she is walking by the computer naked, it makes a noise and suddenly there are people there and can see her! Sorry that is not how it works...for video it is the same as calling someone - they have to answer! I know it was written like that for the humorous aspects, but it just bugged me. That most of the emails weren't written like emails. It would have worked better to be a book with some emails thrown in now and then.

Hilarious, feel-good read. I laughed out loud several times!

So I have met Coco and well I love her!! Coco’s story is told through her emails, which were hilarious and way too detailed to be sending to her friends! But this just cracked me up. This series has been on my radar for ages, so when I got the chance to read them, I snapped it up!

Why do I love Coco? Well, how can you not? This woman has to put up with a lot of rubbish! Her husband having an affair, blacklisted in the literacy world, Rosencrantz her son and his crisis well all of this just had me smiling like a crazy loon. I would have loved to receive these emails, especially as 2012 that is how me and my friends kept in touch! I would love to have seen the responses from her friends, family and shopkeeper!


Coco always tries to look on the brighter side of life…or at the bottom of a wine bottle. Her escapades reminded me of some of mine, I did love her turning up on her door step at 1 am hugging her kebab!

I love it when a man tries to get into a woman’s head, especially at crazy points, and sometimes there are the epic fails. That could not be further from the truth in this book! Somehow Mr Bryndza has captured all the emotions perfectly, from the insecurities to the drowning of the sorrows to the highs! It is easy to forget that it is written by a man!

There were times my jaw dropped when Coco sent an email to someone she should not have done, to the treatment of her in-laws and to her ex-husband and his behaviour! So many times I was shouting yes (quietly as not to wake everyone!) when Coco stood up for herself and took charge. Let me just say Daniel, the ex, got his just desserts!

There are no dull moments in this book, the ensemble of emails to friends and people just keep it flowing. I really can not wait to get cracking on the next book to see how Coco is doing!

A quick, fun read through someone else's emails. Coco is a writer, so even her emails are full of fun and descriptive and wordy. I enjoyed it, and will definitely consider following the series.

Boring. Coco is having some issues. Her book has been recalled by the publisher and her husband's left her for another woman. The book is her emails to her best friends and her son. Picked it up b/c people told me it's hilarious. It's not. I chuckled a couple of times, so it got one star for each chuckle. Got 25% of the way through and decided I didn't want any more.

This has been on my Kindle for quite a time. I almost read it several times, but had thought it might get on my nerves. I'm so glad I finally took the decision to read it. It's very funny. I laughed out loud many a time.

While it does take a stretch of the imagination that some of the emails would actually take the form of emails, I decided not to get hung up on that and just enjoyed the humour and the characters.

The end came a bit sooner than I anticipated (Kindle showed 90% read), but that was because it's followed by an extract from the sequel. I hadn't realised it was the first of a series and I'm looking forward to reading more about how Coco's life progresses.

It's been a long time since I missed a set of characters when I finished a book, but I can't wait for Coco's next adventures!
