There is nothing deep about this book but it's a great summer/beach read! It's funny, filled with (fake)celebrity gossip, a romance with a red-headed boy, and RUNNING! How could I not love it?

I imagine that some people might be bothered by the rehab setting and feel like they make light of addiction but I actually thought Katie's long road to the realization that she does have a problem with alcohol rang true.

I will give the author's other novel a try. (

Kate is a mess. She dreams of being a writer, and has landed an interview for her dream job. But prior to her interview, she gets so drunk the night before that she is still drunk at her interview. Obviously, things don’t go well. Yet, she is given another chance, if she writes a gossip column about a star in rehab. This means she also has to go to rehab, and ends up finding out a lot about herself.
I don’t enjoy books where the protagonist is a drunk, although Kate does eventually get clean. So that likely skewed my opinion of the book. I did enjoy that Kate had to go through low points before things got better. This is McKenzie’s debut novel, and I have read many of her other books, and have enjoyed them. (

Catherine McKenzie’s debut novel Spin is an engaging read that is humorous and at times, heartbreakingly poignant. It is an engrossing and substantive novel you don’t want to miss. To read my review in its entirety, please visit http://www.bookreviewsandmorebykathy.com/2012/02/01/spin/ (

This book definitely reflects our present day and age. It has a very real and believable heroine who shows her weaknesses and begins to learn her strengths as the story goes on. Underneath it all she manages to have a sense of humor that helps to lighten the story. I never thought reading about rehab could be this entertaining. To wrap it all up there is a dreams can come true ending that adds a positive spin. (no pun intended) Very enjoyable! (

I adored this book cover to cover. What a fun and entertaining read! I nearly read it in one sitting then rushed over to read Spun (the follow up novella). When you are reading a great book it plays out like a movie in your head, you feel it in your bones and see it in its entirety! Spin was so brilliantly written that you felt like you were right there for everything...the awkward encounters, the funny moments, the serious situations…everything! I would have been sad when the book ended, but instead I was excited because McKenzie continues the story in an amazing follow up novella Spun, which also amazing and which I also gobbled up! 4.5 stars!!!
