This was a DNF for me. I just couldn't keep interested. But it would likely be a fun read for others!

This book was SO much fun. It was hilarious and witty, and I loved Lara. Reminded me of Sophie Kinsella and Meg Cabot.

I really wanted to finish The Extraordinary Life of Lara Craft - it made me laugh, reminded me of Bridget Jones' Diary, yet I keep getting distracted by other books. I'd rather blame myself for being easily distracted than any other reason.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review. Unfortunately I am unable to give you a proper review. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I started off loving this book and enjoyed reading about Lara’s crazy adventures. That was until she decided to get ridiculously high and proceed to have a threesome with a die-hard Twilight fan and his friend that’s helping him film a pathetic remake of the movies. I was enjoying the main character's wacky personality but the threesome is where it started to crumble. It made me uncomfortable to read and I don’t think it was necessary for this story, plus it made the character seem a bit pathetic and I found myself feeling pity for the girl.

I’m all for girl power and a woman's right to her own sexuality. And i’m not normally one to call other women bad names, but this girl is why women get called sluts to begin with. If having a lot of sex and having threesomes is your jam then all the more power to you, but it's not something I care to read about. She’s had two assignments with her new job and she’s slept with two guys already, well i guess you could say three since her second set was a threesome. I’m actually a bit embarrassed for this girl’s sake and if she was my friend I would want to slap the bad nonsense out of her.

Although the story was somewhat entertaining and adventure filled, I found it to be far too unrealistic and far-fetched and I couldn't believe the ridiculous ending. I suppose if you want an unrealistic Hollywood sex-sells approach with a bit of humor, then this is the book for you. I giggled along here and there but otherwise I found this book to be a waste of my time. My apologies to the author for a negative review, but in keeping with being honest, there you go.

I loved this book, snorted out loud and laughed myself silly all the way through it. Lara was an interesting character who manages to land on her feet after losing her job and her boyfriend on the same day. She reconnects with a childhood friend on a blind date and, through him, lands a job as a courier hand-delivering packages all over the world. The places she travels to are exotic and exciting. The people she meets are interesting, strange, bizarre and entertaining. With each delivery, Lara finds herself experiencing new sights, sounds and adventures, some a lot of fun, some downright scary and some completely insane.

I really loved Lara and her approach to this new life. She demonstrates a spirit of adventure and an open mind, which, in her situation, is a necessity and something I greatly admire. Lara was easy to relate to and connect with. I loved that she is receptive to change and not afraid to experience new things. Along the way, she realizes who she is and the importance of home, friends and family.

The secondary characters all bring their own entertainment and charm to the story, though I liked some more than others. I thought the ending was a tad rushed, but all the loose ends got tied up nicely, so it didn’t take away any of my enjoyment. I highly recommend this book for the entertaining and hysterically funny adventures Lara goes on and the interesting people who cross her path.
