by Melissa BankThis collection of short stories told by women starts off hilariously. Then it got more serious but I soldiered through a woman's relationship with a man twice her age. It wasn't that hard because the writing is solid. And it was so worth it because the last story sent me into peals of giggles.
The woman who is consistent throughout the book meets the right man. Unfortunately she's also finally caved and started reading one of those books on the rules on dating. She did this as a precautionary measure so she wouldn't drive this wonderful man away but ends up getting the two writers of the book stuck in her head and wondering if she's turning slightly schizo. I, for one, could identify with it and was blown away by how perfectly Bank wrote it.
General consensus: Fun and thought-provoking. Recommended for women.
Tidbit: They say that Michelle Bank started the genre of chick lit with this book. Then the genre changed and got kind of stupid. Wikipedia it.
