Wing Girl: [wing-gurl] noun 1. A young, single woman frequenting liquor-serving establishments who attracts then later repels eligible men that are eventually picked up by her friends.2. The essential accessory for dating in Manhattan. 

 

For years guys have cruised bars using the "wing man" as a divide and conquer weapon designed to liberate a gorgeous woman from her not-so-beautiful friend. 

 

Meet Belinda Carson, Wing Girl.

 

She's a kick-ass, take-no-prisoners investigative reporter fighting for truth, justice and higher ratings. But while her fame draws in the hotties, it’s unfortunate that you can’t buy a new personality at Bloomingdales! 

 

Because up close and personal these unsuspecting suitors get fried by a snarky attitude that's sharp enough to slice a stale bagel…which leaves her grateful friends to swoop in for the delectable leftovers! 

 

Only enough is enough – isn’t it time for Belinda to stop taking one for the team and land her own Mr Right?

Why you will love this: 

Wing Girl follows the story of top investigative reporter, Belinda Carson who has always been the one among her friends who would aid them in their quest of pulling men. The reversed version of a Wing-man, if you're a fan of HIMYM, you would know. Belinda has no problem attracting men, it's the part when she gets chatted up that needs help!

 

Immediately, I warmed up to Belinda and her girlfriends, Ariel, Roxanne and Serena. They were such a lovely bunch, which reminded me of Sex and the City, or an all-female cast of How I Met Your FATHER. They were really wonderfully written, where each of them played a significant part in Belinda's life. But I would like to point out that Belinda is a very lovable heroine, she's a strong, independent person, and she's really sassy!

Wing Girl really worked for me because it's a really fabulous book which discusses about powerful women in a highly competitive backdrop (NYC, hurrah!), battling their way to the top. For one, Belinda is a tough cookie, she works hard and gets what she wants. I really admire how Nic Tatano, he's male, by the way, manages to capture the importance of a women's fiction novel.

 

The book is an absolute gem as it's funny, sassy and holds the perfect amount of charm. I fell in love with the characters and the hero, of course. Swoon. The romance is very well-plotted and I have to say, it's surely a romantic comedy! A sparkling, witty book which will leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling. A book filled with witty banter, sweet romantic scenes and a heroine you would definitely root for!

Rating: 5/5
