Amid the onslaught of ''chick reads'' (which heck, the best of us adore), it's refreshing to see someone exploit the very form of women's media and successfully create a piece of work that - quite frankly - is a blast to read. Kizis pulls it all off with great style. Think of this novel as the Lucky Magazine of dating - Dany Levy, creator of Daily Candy
Like a Left Coast Melissa Banks armed with Nick Hornby's record collection (and better hair and make up), Deanna Kizis has dreamed up the most endearing female protagonist to emerge from glossy magazine culture since ''Desk Set''. the wonderfully-named Benjamina Franklin and used her adventures in unrequited love to document the mating rituals of modern LA in all its silicon-enhanced glory - Andrew Essex, Executive Editor, Details
How to Meet Cute Boys is more than just a delicious, entertaining read Deanna Kizis's observations about magazine writing and the social customs of hip Los Angelenos are wry, deft, and spot-on - Susan Kittenplan, Executive Editor, Allure magazi
