Not like Oprah's list is the be-all, end-all...but I was surprised after finishing this that it was recommended. Another far-fetched, self-absorbed story of a divorcee. She's actually quite funny, but I thought the way it all wrapped up was ridiculous. And much less about the people that roomed there, which makes the title a misnomer.

A great novel, a nice break from your typical chic lit. This book takes you through the life of Samantha following the break up of her marriage. It takes you through the journey of separation, disappointement, mothering,being mothered, and finding love again. It makes you want to laugh, and cry. It explores with amazing honesty and insight the pain of divorce and the pain of being yourself.

Anyone who has ever thought they can't go on without the one they love will adore this story. It is all about going on in the face of rejection and winning!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Quick and easy read but the characters are well developed. Funny, real, kept my interest. Will look for other books by this author.

This was a quick read. A little predictable, but overall a very good book.
