Helpful Score: 2

I picked this up merely because of the Oprah's Book Club endorsement. I had no idea what the story was about. I LOVED this book-- it was coming of age novel meets Augusten Burroughs' Running with Scissors... it has a little bit of everything-- family drama, relationship mania, weight gain and loss, mental breakdown... and it is all done with real wit and a completely unexpected plot line. I really appreciate a book that keeps me interested and isn't exactly what you expect around every turn. This story really fills that bill. The main character is a female, but this story would be great for any reader-- it definitely isn't Chick Lit.
