Customer Reviews

Not all hearts and flowers, but so what?

Hint to readers with blinders on: Romance isn't always perfect. I picked this book up last week and couldn't put it down. It succeeds as a romance, a comedy, a drama. Who says romance is perfect and that every recovering alcoholic has to go to A.A. meetings (I didn't)? Just because this book may be out of your comfort zone doesn't mean it isn't worthy of a Lammy Award and more. I give it an A+.

buy this book!

it is seldom that i feel strongly enough about a book to write an online review. even rarer is the urge to send "fan mail" to the author. this book has me doing both.the plot is improbable, the characters broadly drawn, and the chronology hazy. yet somehow, it works. macy, the main character, is a driven, cigarette-smoking, bed-hopping manhattan lesbian. faith is the beguiling, honest, fresh-faced twenty-something who steals her heart. their courtship (if one may call it that) speeds between hilarity and pathos. i don't want to give away any of the wonderful specifics ... but these characters are so real, so full of life, that i feel i know them. even better, i want to spend more time with them. (sequel, please?) buy the book -- hang out with them for a long afternoon, and see if you don't agree.my only quibble is with the proofreader. while i didn't feel compelled to read with my red pencil in hand, the typos were annoying and detracted from a wonderful read.

I laughed out loud

I want to be Macy or do I want to be Faith? Either way it would be great to be so witty. I loved the book, read it cover to cover in one sitting. Getting lost in a good book is better than Zoloft. This did the trick.

A New Favorite

This is the best book I've read since David Sedaris' "Holidays On Ice". I read nightly and I'm a tough critic, but this is simply an incredible book. It's funny, it's chic, it's sad, it's hot. All this and you'll read it in a day. Bravo!

Funny, Sad, and sometimes Sexy

I rarely laugh outloud, when reading a book. With this one I did. The main character Macy was a very believable character. At times I liked her, and at times I thought "Why would she do that!" A very quick read. I couldn't put it down. I would recommend, highly.
