This book far exceeded my expectations of chick lit by being humorous, smart, and with a tale I couldn't predict. So if you like your chick lit a little subversive, this is the book for you!

I definitely understand the disappointment many of these reviewers felt. My thoughts? Lighten up!!! I found Garcia's book absolutely hilarious. Not at all like his Rex series (which I also loved), Finishing School is unlike most other novels.
I think the title and cover may have surprised the disappointed readers here. Finishing School is marketed with the Chick-Lit-type cover, yet it's nothing like Sophie Kinsella (who I adore). This is dark, but not American Psycho-dark (well, I shamefully appreciated that, too, for what it was at the time). Finishing School is black humor--but it's black humor laced with light humor.
The heroine of this book is missing her moral compass. Still, she's interesting, funny, and strange. She IS offensive, but the book is not. The book doesn't advocate doing the things Cassandra French does. It tells the story of someone who does do these things. In that sense, it's funny.
