Hell I'm bored just reading about a book like the one you've suggested.

Will the main character be petite, and will her new sorority sisters join her fight to provide fashionable clothing for the underrepresented petite women of the world?

OK. I made a mistake. I shouldn't have posted this. Will someone please close/delete it?

It wasn't a mistake. You asked for opinions and you got them. Your AI subplot is silly. What is the rest of the book about? Maybe you could beef up those parts.

Typical chicklit sillyness. Finding oneself/friend issues/man issues/parent issues.

Stick to that and leave the AI part out. Even if it is fiction, some readers like to feel that it could be them and how they would handle the situation. AI, in any form, much less self-recommendation, isn't a vaild option for most women.

That's an unflattering way to refer to something you've written. Anyway, does the world need more typical chick lit?

Is this a thinly disguised autobiography? I've heard a theory that the first novel of most authors is really a crappy autobiography -- maybe you'd be well-served to ditch it and start fresh with a new idea.

My first novel was pretty awful, too. I think to myself often, "I wrote this c**p?"
