I got completely addicted to this series of books. Even though they make me nervous at times, I love living vicariously through the main character and her shopping sprees. Its an easy read for fun.

Who knew Steve Martin was such an amazing author! His inner monologue is better than many people's speeches.

This is a sequel to Skipped Parts and is a great accompaniment to the first novel. It goes into more detail about what happens after the characters have a baby at 12 years of age. I appreciate that Sandlin didn't let the story stop there. It deals with addiction in a sensitive and real way.

This sociological look at the life of strippers will have you laughing, crying and wanting to make a change in the world. You will also learn all you ever wanted to about the decency laws in every state in the nation. I appreciated the author's frank look at both the glamour and the grit, the pros (no pun intended) and cons of a life in sex.
