Call Me Irresistible
has all of the Susan Elizabeth Phillips' trademarks. There are all the moments I could not continue to read I was laughing so hard. Add cast of quirky characters and a solid plot, and you have a great story. There are also old friends from some of Phillips’ other books to add additional interest to the story.

My favorite of her books thus far, & I've read them all. Her development as an author shines in this sequel to First Lady that cleverly weaves in other fave characters. It's a Big Book, & yet all her characters - old & new - ring true;dialog is sparky & funny; themes of self-discovery, downfall & redemption familiar yet not hackneyed. I found her penchant for neatly summarizing her character's inner dialog & emotional state a bit much in the novel's opening pages - Show me, Don't tell me! - but I appreciate the challenge of getting all the actors in the same place, letting us get to know them, before she hits the "go" button. Fast-paced plot lingers in all the right places & allows us to see her characters evolve. I've already re-read it twice.
