Why read it?

1 author picked What a Girl Wants (Ashley Stockingdale Series #1) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

More than just a romance, I love the way she incorporates issues with family and job and life always in a humorous way. Written at the height of the chick-lit era ( a genre I love) the book follows Ashely Stockingdale, a successful 31-year-old woman wondering if she will ever find true love. 

From Sharon's list on that made me laugh out loud.
