Johnny1978 | Aug 4, 2009 |  I really enjoyed Story of My Life because I felt like it was a realistic portrayal of rich twentysomethings anywhere, let alone the focus area of the novel, which is New York City. It's a fast read, funny, but doesn't break a lot of ground. There is a lot of depth to the text, if you're willing to take it there, but at the same time you can approach it and be as shallow as Alison Poole. I like that a lot, and the idea influenced my reading a lot. Highly recommended. (  ) Kunzelman | Jun 25, 2009 | Have you ever wondered what a person thinks as their life spirals out of control? Then read this book. If not, it’s very middle of the road. I had to finish the book though. I’m bemused too much by train wreck personalities. (full review at my blog) (  ) KingRat | Jan 22, 2009 | Alison Poole is a party girl come wannabe actress in New York. She's a cynic who's in touch with her inner child. She's got crazy friends and a dysfunctional family. This is her story. McInerney achieves a power and a true voice and sustains it. Cutting insights and a deliriously good read.

Alison also makes a cameo in 'American Psycho' by Brett Easton Ellis - as the one that (quite literally) got away. (
