Super "chick lit" and not deep at all. But ExACtLY what I needed to have a fun escape story from my life at the moment.
At first I was annoyed by Vivian but by the middle of the book I must admit I was invested. She grew on me.
I read this book for my bookclub this month. Nothing really to say about this book. I would not read it again, or recommend it for anyone else to read. It seems like a coming of age book where the author doesn't ever come of age. Just my opinion...I am sure there are people who will love this book...I was just not one of them. For me, with my schedule, it was a complete waste of time.
this book is almost like the autobiography of ashley but i'm sure we can all insert our names there. i related to viv in so many ways it was a little disturbing. she was so real and for a moment i really thought it was a real autobiography. such a cool book i'm going to never get tired of. she's definitely a best friend every girl wants.
I was a little more into this book at the beginning, but I actually only scanned the last 10 pages or so only because I wanted to see if anything big happened at the end... I just couldn't get behind the author's sort of valley-girl stream-of-consciousness first person narration.
Really funny! This character...or I guess woman since she is real...is so adorable. She's quirky and clumsy and yet you just find yourself rooting for her. I laughed so much during this book and was embarrassed for her at the same time.
Couldn't figure out how this book ever got published, or worse, how I came to be reading it. Just awful.
I totally enjoyed this chick-lit "autobiography" style novel. It was a fun, light read.
I've read this book at least 5 times. Personally it's extremely inspiring.
Some vulgar language. Overall witty witting and a quick read.
funny easy read... had lots of flash backs to my twenties... Fun!
