Book Description:
Dissatisfied both with writing a “Single Girl on the Edge/Ledge/Verge” column and with her boyfriend, Ruby Capote sends her best columns and a six-pack of beer to the editor of The New York News and lands herself a job in the big city. There, Ruby undertakes the venerable tradition of Poker Night—a way (as men have always known) to eat, drink, smoke, analyze, interrupt one another, share stories, and, most of all, raise the stakes. When Ruby falls for her boss, though, all bets are off. . . .

I wanted to like it, but i found my self bored by the characters, not caring about them or what they were going to do next, the only character in the book that i found entertaining was Skorka, she was funny. The upside is the chapters are super short quick reads so you can put it down, which i found myself doing a lot. a fast read, but a boring one!

I expected this to be funnier than I found it, but that didn't end up being a bad thing. There were funny moments, but they were intermingled with some very sad moments as the main character tries to sort through the things that have been keeping her from love without her realizing it.
It reminded me of The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, both in style and in the somewhat amusing, somewhat poignant writings of the main character. I really liked it.

So-so chicklit, enlivened by sassy writing but flawed by the main character, who comes off as a self-centere twit, despite the author's attempts to give her a sympathetic backstory.

Very interesting, a good read.

I liked the voice of this book, written in short stream of conscious musings. A woman who is used to playing it safe learns to take risks and live.

The most comedic chick-lit book I have ever read.
