This book is critically acclaimed. But I found it to be, well, a DUD. The main character is flaky and self-absorbed. I had no patience for her at all.

Possibly the most annoying, self-centered narrator I've ever read. Actually beat out Catcher in the Rye for least favorite book, and that's saying something. Couldn't even finish.

This book feels special. It's so funny and rich with character, even though some parts of the story are quite mundane. Only reason this isn't a five star read is I had a hard time remembering all the characters and the ending felt a bit too convenient. Overall, I think this book deserves a lot more love.
This book surprised, astounded, and affected me. I expected to like it, but not nearly as much as I did. It was absolutely and utterly amazing. Deeply personal and yet funny, it has probably everything I want in a book and more. I’ve been trying to read more books by women to uncover the literary histories *know* exist but are neither taught nor widely available. This book emphasizes the exquisite pain of that. I LOVE this book — it is absolutely a work of genius, humor, critical reflection and thought — exactly what I wanted to find women writing. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to find, however, and wish more people knew its name. Absolutely a joy!
