The narrator of the story 'America' is really witty, honest and despite acting like a desperate loser when her boyfriend dumps her, she's really cool!! A book for chicks who dont like chick-lit! I laughed out loud througout this. Genunely likeable character who's too cool to even realise she is! ( ) no reviews | add a review
America Throne is rebuilding her life after her father dies of cancer and her boyfriend Jasper unceremoniously dumps her - by fax. Perhaps not surprisingly, America temporarily loses the will to live and descends into a self-destructive cycle of recriminations and increasingly threatening phone calls to her recalcitrant ex. Luckily her rather more practical best friend, Sadie, is on hand to kick America out of the rut and back into shape, via Earl Grey tea, gratuitous sex and some home-made yoghurt. This being California, America's 'journey back to wholeness' involves some not entirely conventional twists and turns. This is a trip to the wilder shores of West Coast weirdness, infused with the engaging wit and exhilarating emotional honesty of a brilliant and original new writer. No library descriptions found. |
