As soon as you open this book, you will see that Vivian has mastered the art of story-telling, as well as drawing her readers into her multi-faceted and fascinating life. This is not your ordinary chick lit book; Vivian welcomes you into her life and invites you to see all sides of her, including the bad ones. As in her previous two books, "Vivian, The V Spot" is detailed yet fun, sad yet uplifting, touching, and hard to put down. (For me, impossible). In this novel, she continues her life story, starting from when she had completed her first manuscript (for her first book) and is about to drop it off at her agent's office. (I recommend new readers of the Vivian books start with her first one - "Autobiography of Vivian" or they might be confused). A lot of things are happening in Vivian's life: her best friend is about to get engaged to a guy that doesn't seem to like Vivian; her next book is due in six months; she misses Jack terribly, although she finds out he has moved on (to a slimmer, prettier model); she finds out her book might be optioned into a television show; and much more. Through it all, Vivian keeps up her witty, honest, best-girlfriend type of tone with the reader.I found "Vivian, The V Spot" absolutely impossible to put down because I had to keep reading to find out what would happen next. People who have followed her website and read her two other books will love this one. The best thing about this book is how wide open Vivian lays her life; she has incredible courage to do it. Although at times it seems her life is too exciting, too perfect, or too full of drama, something else usually happens to destroy the fascade. She is real. And this last book is extremely touching. The only problems with the book I found was possible inconsistancy with one of her previous books. She swears up and down that she has never slept with a guy on the first date in this third novel, yet I distinctly remember her doing it also in her first book. (Am I wrong?) I also found a glaring typo on one page. However, these things are very small and in no way take away from this great book.Overall, I highly recommend "Vivian, The V Spot" to all Vivian fans, chick lit readers, and anyone looking for a touching, true-to-life story.
