My girlfriend brought this home as a gift for a friend. I picked it up thinking I'd just have a quick look and emerged 5 hours later having read the whole thing cover to cover (sorry friend for the already-read book gift with the now-cracked spine). Unflinchingly honest, screechingly funny, it felt like a gift to women everywhere.
It was a great concept, would have been a 4-star read if it hadn't been so interminably long
I think I expected too much after having this recommended by so many people (and loving Tuesdays with Morrie). I was disappointed.
This was beautiful and devastating and I both wanted it never to end and also needed it to end immediately.
I tried with this book, really I did... but when it came to the most laughably awful sex scene I've ever read I gave up. Might have to track down whoever recommended it to me and find out how I'd wronged them enough to deserve this.
