Breezy story of an anti-heroine who hit rockbottom and is crawling her way out. You'll want to cheer her on. ( ) One of the cover blurbs is by Karen Brichoux, which is entirely appropriate. The writing is very similar--fun chick lit overlying a well of pain. From the cover, you really wouldn't expect this much depth. I knew TOFGB would be a good book--I've been hearing about it forever, Lani's a Cherry, etc., but like all books that get raves, I stuck it in my TBR pile & waited for the hype to die down before trying it. The hype was deserved. Really, really good book. The heroine was so different from me in some ways that it's ridiculous--blurting out the first thing that comes into her head? I never do that--in fact, I'm more likely to think something out thoroughly, and not say it even then. But regardless, she was still very real, and damn if she didn't make me recognize bits & pieces of myself anyway--and not the good parts. She made me laugh, cry, & think. And stay up until the book was finished. What more can you ask from a book? no reviews | add a review
