In some ways, these stories are better than Weiner's novels. Well written and succint, they capture the themes that we are used to but in a strong way that leaves the reader deeply touched in only a few pages.

An entertaining group of short stories exploring loss, love and the road (or guy) not taken. I don't enjoy short stories in general because I love character development and hate to see a character go before I know their full story - but I did enjoy these.

Enjoyed this collection of short stories. Had to go back to her other books to remember how a few of the stories were about the same characters. Enjoyable read.

A great collection of short stories. It had one story that had Cannie and Bruce from Good in Bed!

This was the second book that I've read from Jennifer Weiner and I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. It's a book of short stories (my first time ever reading short stories), but the the problem is ... is that the first three or four are about the same family and you get sucked in and just don't want it to end and then it does ... just like that ... ends, and leaves you hanging. Maybe I am just not a short story kind of reader?! But if you haven't read short stories before ... this would be a good book to wet your feet with.

An excellent collection of short stories that made me laugh out loud. I love Jennifer Weiner's writing and I felt like I knew the characters in these stories. She has such a vivid imagination. I especially love the part at the end where she describes each short story, tells you when and why she wrote it, etc. I suggest reading that before you read the story just to paint the background picture!

I was sad that this wasn't nearly as good as her other books.. I had to force myself to finish it. :( Others really loved it though.
