Enjoyable ascerbic wit of Meg Wolitzer, filled with her type of engrossing, funny, humor and pathos. She is a one in a million author.

I wasn't sure about this book in the beginning. Somehow it overcomes your initial impressions that it's another middleage woman's quest to free herself from a long unsatisfying marriage. It catches your attention and you comes to a shocking conclusion.

Not chick lit despite the intriguing hot pink cover.

I wasn't sure I liked this book. The book is told from the point of view of a whinny ,feel-sorry-for-myself, wife. It does have an interesting twist toward the end. It's quick, easy reading.

Wonderful quick read. The ending was a bit predictable but it was great food for thought. I read it on 1 day.
