Someone mentioned chick lit, let me just say I am a guy, and have been dumped, so I know how it feels-- but I mostly read in order to have experiences I have not had in real life, in order to expand who I am as a human being. Why else do we read if not to get bigger?Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-699697466696336292009-07-15T15:08:02.649-04:002009-07-15T15:08:02.649-04:00Really loved this book and could relate to the he...Really loved this book and could relate to the heartbreak even though am happily married. I definitely think most women know how it feels to be caught between growing parents and an elderly mom who dives in to help. That mom was so tough and mean at times, but loving-- she reminds me of my own mother. Interestingly, my husband said he really related to these characters, too! I hear the author is on a tour of the Cleveland area and that is where I am, so I plan to go hear her next week.Sarah Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-71315190439947955602009-07-11T14:42:23.843-04:002009-07-11T14:42:23.843-04:00This one looks interesting.

Made me laugh out loud. Thought the book show last night was fabulous, learned so much about the writing process. Great review, Julie,-- wonder if you feel different now that you've heard the author speak about the book?booksbythebedmomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-39315767827599499112009-07-08T11:25:44.668-04:002009-07-08T11:25:44.668-04:00I've been having a bit of a struggle getting i...I've been having a bit of a struggle getting into it and relating Eve, as well, but I think mine is just a case of New-Computer-and-summer-blahs.

It still looks good, though.
