worse than being Slightly Engaged . . .
being entirely broke, completely alone and wholly perplexed. It's been a year and a half since Tracey and Jack moved in together, and everything's totally perfect -- well, okay, almost perfect. There's still Tracey's mom, who says they're "living in sin," and her friends, who are all smug, married and totally sure that there would already be a ring on Tracey's finger if she hadn't been in such a rush to cosign a lease. Even Tracey is beginning to wonder whether Jack really is looking for a permanent relationship, or whether she's just renting space in his heart. But just when Tracey's doubts are seriously raging out of control, Jack's mom lets her in on a secret -- he's just taken an heirloom diamond out of the family's safe-deposit box, which must mean that he's going to propose any day now. Okay, any week now . . . Any month now? | | | |

Not this time Jan 27, 2006
By Tina

I am a big fan of this series.
Not this time. Basically, this book is all about how our main character wants to get engaged to her- now - long term boyfriend. Fine - except that he never asks and this, in turn, just keeps freaking her out.
So, instead of either "sucking it up" and moving on - she keeps expecting him to pop the question - at every turn and I mean at every turn. Basically, the author ends up making our heroine so pathetic that she becomes this complete turnoff.
Every page and every paragraph includes the words: "I know he is going to ask today".... and this becomes so tedious. You want to scream "Either ask him or move on" just please put us out of our misery.
I did not enjoy this book. The main character was wishy-washy and portrayed as a victim (if I don't get engaged I am nobody). There was no fun in reading this book for me and let's not even talk about the total lack of humour here.
Pass on this one - please.

Slightly Crappy May 24, 2006
By S. Maslen
I thoroughly enjoyed the first and second book in this series (especially the first) but this book became a chore to read. In every page we have the main character whining about 'when is he going to propose'? I wanted to scream! It became predictable and thoroughly boring after the first couple of chapters. If Wendy Markham plans on making a 'slightly married' or 'slightly pregnant' I certainly hope she takes all this bad feedback onboard and comes up with a more witty and original novel!

So Boring Jun 26, 2006
By scotdog

This is my first review & I was afraid everyone else was going to like this book & I was going to wonder about my reading preferences. I am going to look for the first book in the series since others liked it.
I never felt like I connected at all with Tracey or Jack. His character was so boring! I kept waiting for something fun or exciting to happen. It never does. I found myself skipping pages just to get to the end.

Not the best of the series! Apr 26, 2006
By Diorella Grande
I was hoping to really enjoy this installment in the 'Slightly....' series. Howver, the main character, Tracy Spadolini, has REGRESSED into a neurotic, pathetic, whiney, idiot. WHO in their right mind feels like a failure if not married by age 25? This is 2006, not 1956! I agree with a pervious reader who noted we are 'told' Tracy and Jack are happily in love....but nothing, and I stress nothing is ever shown. A very poor effort on Markham's part; I wasted money. AVOID. Or, check it out from the library if you are especially curious.
A side note...we also continue to hear about Will, her awful ex from the previous two books, but the author fails to make any point of his role in the story. He telephones Tracy randomly, and they don't speak about anything of importance. poor.

Slightly Boring .... Nov 18, 2009
By Busy Mom
I picked this book up awhile ago, saving it for those moments in life when I would need a chick lit to tide me through whatever crisis there is, whether it be flu or colds or those moments when kids, hubby, dog and life just gets to be too much. I picked it up this weekend when the entire family got stricken with the flu.
Does this main character do anything else other than whining about how her sweetheart never proposed to her? Apparently not because for the entire 323 pages of this book that is all she did. She was obsessed with getting that dang ring on her finger, no matter what. It starts off with a wedding that she and her beloved Jack went to a wedding and Jack made the comment that he wasn't a fan of weddings. That comment set Tracey off in a panic thinking that he's never going to marry her. Then his mom tells her that he got the diamond off of her engagement ring and if he had proposed yet. So that sets Tracey off on another panic attack ... and on and on.
I'll save you the trouble ... yes, they do get engaged, but after two weddings, a botched weekend trip, after the holidays and in the least romantic way. By the time I finished this book, I must either be on the mend or just sick and tired of heroines moping about not getting engaged ... I was excited that she's engaged and now I can dump the book at the library annual bookfair.
My advice ... don't buy it. Borrow it or better yet, find some other books in the series that are much better written and more fun than a woman who has it all whining about how she hates her life and it would only be perfect if Jack, her knight in slightly dented armor would just hurry up and propose. As for me, I cannot believe I finished this book. I must have been really delirious with the flu.
