Thought it might be interesting based on the title but I stuck with it to the end. Even though it’s fictional still a lot like real life. I did like the ending and what happened with Chester the dog. The best part I took was a line at the end about GOD. Page 273. ( ) If I could give this negative stars, I would. It only got one star because I managed to finish it. A group of hateful people ruin each other and themselves out of middle class boredom. That's basically my take on a terrible example of "chick lit." I'm really annoyed I read this. Maybe I'm missing some kind of humor the author intended, but I honestly came away from this book thinking Dunn is the biggest misogynist I've ever come across. Well, to be fair the male characters are equally atrocious. There is nothing good about this book-STAY FAR AWAY FROM IT. I used to enjoy this type of book. Then I graduated from college and discovered there was more to life than men. And I can really be friends with other women. I'm pretty sure there isn't a single sexual stereotype left out of this book. Grrr...I'm getting angry all over again :-) I'm also starting to think it deserves 1/8 of another star just for getting this kind of reaction from me. That must say something about it, right?? no reviews | add a review

HTML:Holly Frick has just endured the worst kind of breakup: the kind where you're still in love with the person leaving you. While her wounds are still dangerously close to the surface, her happily married best friend confesses over a bottle of wine that she is this close to having an affair. And another woman comes to Holly for advice about her love life â?? with Holly's ex! Holly decides that if everyone around her can take pleasure wherever they find it, so will she. As any self-respecting thirtyish New York woman would do, she brings two males into her life: a flawed but endearing dog, and a good natured, much younger lover. She's soon entangled in a web of emails, chance meetings, and misguided good intentions and must forge an entirely new path to Nirvana. From the author of The Big Love, Secrets to Happiness is a big-hearted, knife-sharp, and hilariously entertaining story about the perils of love and friendship, sex and betrayal â?? and a thoroughly modern take on our struggle to be No library descriptions found. |
