With or Without You
reviewed on + 1215 more book reviews


Written in the first person, this book chronicles the love life of Eleanor and her sexual transformation from wallflower to goddess. With the help of her look-alike friend and alter ego, she breaks out of her self-imposed shell after her long-time boyfriend breaks up with her (he calls out another lover's name while making love to her, and blames her!)( Oh, yeah, these sleazeballs really do exist.) She fantasizes a lot about her secret crush, and yes, they finally do hook up for a happy ending. While the basic storyline shows promise, the style of writing was so boring that I ended up speed-reading the last 2/3 of the book.
