- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A strong story about a girl who loses all her money and gets dumped by her fiancé in a matter of hours, and decides to go on the stage. She's sensible, intelligent and likeable, and eventually she lives happily ever after. A more serious story than much of Wodehouse's output - witty and amusing but not exactly comic - and very enjoyable.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Apparently this book is the same as Jill the Reckless in The Autograph Edition published by Herbert Jenkins, London, in 1958.The other reviews do a good job of explaining the story. Let me add that reading this in a time of when financial and sexual impropriety are in the news made Jill's Uncle Chris---who lost all of Jill's money---and Mr. Goble, the producer of the show Jill is in and known to be too interested in the young women in his shows and vindictive when rebuffed---less endearing and amusing than when they seemed to be just characters in one of Wodehouse's ideal worlds.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fun romp but not as hilarious as some of his books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hands down, this is my favorite non-Jeeves and Wooster novel of Plum's :)

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I found this to be one of P. G. Wodehouse’s patchy novels. The opening chapters suggest that this will be classic Wodehouse, featuring some highly entertaining scenarios, but after the main characters leave England for America and become involved with a theatrical production, the story takes a nosedive.Many a time I found myself skipping big paragraphs that have little to offer. I didn’t find much if anything humorous about the lengthy theatre scenes. Some of the rehearsal sequences were pure tedium.Luckily the title character is entertaining – or at least she is when taken away from the theatre and given the opportunity to shine. But while Jill is great, her Uncle Chris bugs me with his long-winded waffling, which I also ended up skimming. I realise the author’s intention is to cause amusement with these extensive stretches of one-man dialogue but for me it only caused boredom.Mr Wodehouse is usually at his best with short & snappy dialogue exchanges between likeable characters. Thankfully scenes of this nature are apparent and prove successful. Most of these, however, occur in the opening chapters, ultimately growing scarce once Jill lands in America, and rarer still when the confounded theatre pops up, dash it!Overall, not P. G. Wodehouse’s finest hour.
