Gah I'm so conflicted about this book. If she had broken up with him halfway through and then gone on to do something interesting, it would have been an easy 5 stars. The writing is witty, incisive and painfully honest. I saw more of myself in Tori than I care to admit. But instead, the rather anticlimactic breakup with absolutely no rhyme or reason came right at the end, and the conclusion was forced into a few short pages. The payoff, her new book, was tacked onto the end in a 100-word email.

Anyone else a bit let down by this ending? I understand the hype around her relatability, but that doesn't make up for an astounding lack of resolution.
