Publisher's Summary:

It seemed exciting at first, but after two and a half years in New York, Tracey has to admit her lifewell, sucks. Sure, she makes a decent living as a copywriter, but Blaire Barnett Advertising is a cutthroat world that basically swallows her life. If she does manage to get home before nine, she's usually greeted by husband Jack's best bud, an almost-permanent fixture in their tiny, unaffordable apartment. Add the circus freaks stomping around upstairs, and Tracey decides it's time to move.

After quitting her job, she and Jack take the plunge into the nearby suburbs of Westchester and quickly discover they're in way over their heads. Their fixer-upper is unfixable, the stay-at-home yoga moms are a bore and Tracey yearns for her old friends - she even misses work!

So which life does she really want? Other than Jack's wife, who is she? If Tracey merely has to find her own Slightly Suburban niche, it had better be just around the corner, because there're no subways here

Members Reviews:

I love these books

I love these books. They warn my heart and make me laugh out loud. Wish she would write a "slightly maternal."

Please write another one! :)

I read these books in my early twenties, and again this past week. I really enjoyed them all, and I wish Wendy would write a sixth book showing Tracey being a mother. I would also like to know what happens to her friends!

More chick lit

Slightly Suburban is the latest in the series of "Slightly" books. I have been all over the place with these books - I love the way this author writes and the storyline is engaging and quite funny. But I actively DISLIKE the main character Tracy - she is bossy, annoying, demanding, whiny and immature.

Everytime I read one of the books in this series, I get this urge to smack her and tell her to smarten up - I mean really - who goes out and buys a saw so that the movers can saw the feet of the couch they need to move? In this particularly storyline, she is particularly whiny and seems to want to cry at the drop of a hat. I also always wonder why she and Jack are married? They don't seem to have one little bit of thing in common.

Having said all of this! why am I rating this book 4 stars? Because these books are compulsively readable and I enjoy every moment of reading them. As I mentioned, the author writes in a witty, charming and fun way, I like the fact that this story follows a logical and clear arc and it was quite fun to actually go through the whole house buying process with Jack and Tracy.

I read this book in two days - I just kept finding a reason to read more and more.

If only Tracy was less annoying....and I am dying to find out what happens to Kate. I was a little alarmed at the direction the author is taking with some of Tracy's friends...as if a married woman can have either her husband or her friends????

I know there is going to be another installment and I am already dying to read it.

fun "Slightly" chick lit tale

No longer just SLIGHTLY MARRIED Tracey and Jack are happy together in New York City, albeit in a tiny apartment. However, Tracey feels they would have a nicer lifestyle if they left the Big Apple for a somewhat SLIGHTLY SUBURBAN locale especially since that would mean coming home to Jack and not his best buddy Mitch who seems to be more of a fixture in their lives then they are.
