Very entertaining!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I thought this book was a fun read. Sure, the main character is neurotic, but I liked her anyway . . . and who among us has never felt jealous about our significant other's former love? Okay, so maybe it's not "Wuthering Heights" -- it's still a pleasant way to spend an afternoon! I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen in this love triangle.

A Perfect Summer Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Funny, funny, funny. Smart, smart, smart.This is the first book of Zigman's I've read and I loved it. I bought it at the airport and embarrassed myself on the plan I laughed so hard. Can't wait to read the first two.
I Liked It
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Reading these other reviews and realizing they are a bit harsh, I feel the need to defend what I thought was a pretty good book. Yes, the storyline is a bit thin, however, the characters wonderfully three demensional and you can't help but like them. Is Elise neurotic and distrustful? Absolutely. But I think my fellow reviewers are focusing on the "feminism" aspect of the story instead of just taking it at face value. This is just a fun, quick read that basically takes one emotion we have all felt, jealousy, and turns it into a farce. My advice: Don't over analyze this book and take it as it is; a light, funny read.
HILARIOUS AND INTELLIGENT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I've read Zigman's first two books -- Animal Husbandy (scorchingly smart, hilarious and original first novel); Dating Big Bird (pitch-perfect, dead-on accurate book about women whose biological clock is nearing it's last tick) -- and now this one WHICH IS WITHOUT A DOUBT HER BEST. I expected it to be funny and intelligent, but I didn't expect it to be as deeply wise and moving as it is about how necessary a leap of faith is with the ones we choose to love. Zigman is a prophet of how men and women are with each other and how women are with other women. I just loved it.
