On the surface, "Emily Ever After" seemed to be another tale of good girl gone bad in NYC. Fortunately, it turned out to be individual and completely different from any of the tales of New York I have read before. Emily struggles to fit in with the other assistants at work, and finds herself in places she'd never imagined she could ever be. She got laughed at when she ordered a Diet Coke on a night out, and tried to counter that by drinking too much at a book party, resulting in her first-ever hangover. After that incident she learned her limit, but was taken by surprise with her new 'is-he-isn't-he' boyfriend. While he claimed to be a good Christian, and even took Emily to church with him, his wandering hands and his far too provocative lips left Emily feeling really confused. After she allowed Bennett to get closer than she was comfortable with, I thought she'd have just conformed to be the kind of girl she surrounded herself with. It was great seeing her make decisions that she felt would make her comfortable, and have to deal with things that real-life Christians deal with while living in a fast-paced world. I really enjoyed the writing style, and loved Emily's passion and determination. The side-story of her uncle seemed a bit out of place and unnecessary, though her uncle did offer her a bit of home away from home. I DIDN'T like that this book made San Diego seem like small-town life. Though it is considerably different from NYC, San Diego would have offered Emily the same kinds of people (girls who are fashion obsessed and boys who want lots of sex) and life-experiences (publishing companies, party life, drinking, drugs, sex, etc). If Emily truly went to SDSU she would have been just as immersed in that lifestyle as she was in NYC. All in all, this was a really enjoyable book and I liked it far more than I anticipated I would. I am now adding more Dayton/Vanderbilt books to my reading list. :-)
