About this product
Product Information
Fashion Editor Karen Wheeler Thought She Had It All: a glamorous job, a handsome boyfriend, a fabulous home, and an even more fabulous assortment of gorgeous shoes. But not all is as it seems, and on an impulse she decides to wave good-bye to her glamorous city lifestyle and go it alone in a run-down house in rural France. Tout Sweet is the perfect read for anyone who dreams of chucking away her BlackBerry in favor of real blackberrying and downshifting to a romantic, alluring locale where new friendships, and new loves, are just some of the treasures to be found amongst life's simple pleasures. What Readers are Saying: I loved this book. It is charming, honest, funny, inspirational, and beautifully written. Read this book and you'll be transported to a land of lavender, baguettes, and wine. Every woman who has had a failed romance will identify with Karen's feelings - and will want to escape as she did. Karen's book stands out by its inherent humor, quality of writing, and engaging tone that leaves one wishing for more of Karen's adventures. It gives hope to anyone...that no matter what your background is, you can succeed in the face of adversity and have some great fun along the way. Book jacket.

purchased the book “my feelings are like wild animals: how do I tame them?” I got it here because the price was $4.72. Condition is as described. The book was bent which likely occurred during shipping, because it was shipped unprotected, by itself. I wish it was shipped in protective cardboard or in a bubble wrap envelope (like other books from eBay.) Fortunately it’s easy to flatten out the bend by putting something heavy on top of the book. Therefore I’ll purchase from this seller again.
