There were some parts I enjoyed and others that I hated. I liked reading about the locations, not so much about her. I made the mistake of reading Committed, her second book. Awful awful awful. The more I think about that book the more I dislike it.<br /><br />Anyways, great suggestions. I will be adding on to my reading list.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686450030075980690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-3632683991922564202010-07-14T11:39:43.662-04:002010-07-14T11:39:43.662-04:00Erica - yay!

I read it in my Creative Writing: Fiction class in college.<br /><br />I've been looking for more books to read. Thanks for the suggestions!<br /><br />I just finished reading Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (absolutely loved the movie, book was better) and then I read Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List by the same authors. Also very good. Both of these are considered "teen fiction" in the book store, but I loved them.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249343145969056314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-27027106233034693882010-07-14T09:47:46.920-04:002010-07-14T09:47:46.920-04:00Thanks for posting this list.

I couldn't get past 20 pages. How awful. What I hate more if the people who are like "OMG YOU MUST read eat pray love." Oy.<br /><br />I'm reading "How Did You Get This Number" by Sloane Crosley and it's hilarious. In same light as Chelsea Handler but not as silly.
