This isn’t the side-splitting laughter book I expected like her first book, Neurotica, but it is funny, sweet, erotic and just plainly delightful!!Rachel, a struggling stand-up comedian, was in the midst of a so-so relationship with a dentist when she met Matt, the washing machine repairman. And the story takes off from there, with parents whom she suspects are swingers in their “old age,” an ex-husband who left her for another man, a son who is wildly in love with Barbra Streisland, a comedy competition that soured because someone stole her material …. and falling in love with Matt. It is an entertaining love story … one that will linger in your mind after reading it.Sue Margolis is known for her racy books injected with British humor, and this book doesn’t disappoint!! I can’t wait to read more of her books!! She is one British author I am keeping on the top of my list. If it’s a gray and rainy day outside, then I’ll be sure to pick up one of her books ~~ she’s entertaining enough to keep the blahs away for a few hours!

This very funny book is the story of Rachel, a journalist-turned-standup comic who is engaged to an extremely uptight dentist, whose ex-husband left her for a male Estee Lauder rep, whose 10 year old son has a bizarre passion for Barbra Streisand, whose employers are rather eccentric members of London’s glitterati, whose mother appears to be having a fling with a toy boy … well, anyway, she has lots going on in her life. And then comes the washing machine repair man who adds an entirely new and rather steamy dimension to her life! This is a fun read with lots going on and tons of colourful characters to keep the reader entertained. I loved it.

If you like your books funny, sexy, saucy, naughty and fun, set your sights on Sue Margolis’s newest offer, Spin Cycle. It has all these elements plus some, and sends readers on a riotous, raunchy ride.Spin Cycle tells the story of budding stand-up comic, Rachel Katz. She’s had all sorts of problems: her husband is gay, her fiance is a compulsive neat-freak dentist, her 10-year-old son has an unnatural obsession with Barbra Streisand, and her mother is acting in a most unlikely way. On the plus side, she has her comedy; her bohemian pregnant friend, Shelley; and her job cleaning house for oddcouple of the year, celebrities Otto and Xantia Marx. Enter Matt Clapton. When the Marx’s washing machine goes on the blink, sexy repairman Matt comes to the rescue. Suddenly, Rachel finds herself in quite a predicament — if her fiance is off working in South Africa for a month, is it okay to indulge herself in matters of a sexual nature? Especially since her fiance hasn’t given her the time of day in weeks?I really enjoyed this book. It has some good humor, although not necessarily knee-slapping. The stand-up comedy bits are funny, though, and I spent many moments reciting the jokes to my husband in my best stand-up comedian voice. I will admit to the storyline being tied up too neatly, and it is horribly predictable, but for readers who don’t mind such things, Spin Cycle will be another great novel on your bookshelf.

This book was cute, and a few parts did have me laughing out loud, even if some of the english slang was challenging to follow. I also agree with another reviewer’s warning about some of the “steamy” sections – you may not want to be reading those on the train commuting home from work! Unfortunately many times it felt like Ms. Margolis was trying too hard (calling Matt her “Rinse Charming”?!?! or “I think you’ve found my Hotpoint” UGH!! Enough of the washing machine gags!) That disappointed me and the ending seemed awfully pat, but it was an nice quick read. I’ll still give Neurotica a try, but I would recommend “Bridget Jones’ Diary” over “Spincycle” any day.

I’ve either read a ton of these Brit Chick Lit books or it is beginning to seem like it to me. They all resemble “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” which I loved, but there is a similarity to these books that is now wearing me down. The books are called Brit Chick Lit over at the All About Romance website so this is not my own terminology for the phenomenon. They are all somewhat comedic, romance based fiction books written by women authors in the UK. This book does not mine any new riches in this genre but I enjoyed it and it was a fun read. Once. The heroine is a stand-up comic trying to break into television. The most comic part of the book, which may have pushed it to 5 stars had it been pursued, was the heroine’s engagement to a dentist. The dentist was an absolute scream, a Type A who runs his life according to a regime that John Cleese would make hay with in the movie role. Unfortunately, he is sent to South Africa for most of the book. The characters are all likable and there is a good romance between the washing machine repair man-entrepreneur and the heroine. It is pretty much forgettable though as soon as you are done with it. Stressed out and female? This may be worth an evening or afternoon of your time.
