The critics raved about Lisa Jewell's bestselling debut novel, calling Ralph's Party "addictively readable" (The Times, London); "like going to a great dinner party" (The New York Post). thirtynothing brings together a charming quartet of modern men and women in pursuit of sex, love, friendship, and the perfect relationship. On his thirtieth birthday, Dig Ryan bumps into his first love Delilah, whom he hasn't seen in twelve years. Delilah was the most beautiful girl in school and a constant thorn-in-the-side of Nadine, who has been Dig's best friend for the last fifteen years. Nadine isn't about to let Delilah outshine and outmaneuver her again ... which is when she calls her first love, Phil .... A buoyant novel about friendship, lust, growing up, and growing older, thirtynothing is sure to delight fans of Ralph's Party and to win this hip, thirtysomething author a wealth of new readers. 1685674 1900 Thirtynothing total:386|5:48|4:127|3:147|2:55|1:9| 386 1308 571 33 2 1 false false Tue Dec 23 19:04:44 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 23 19:07:16 -0800 2008 2 0 true true Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 15:44:50 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 13:39:05 -0800 2009 1

It's a fun enough book - just not good. It's predictable and I don't see "real" people doing the same things as Deen and Dig, at least for 20 plus years.]]> 2 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 15:48:43 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 15:50:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jul 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Feb 17 02:25:46 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 02:29:08 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Wed Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 06:14:06 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 06:34:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 03:53:23 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 06:22:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Sep 18 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Mon Sep 07 20:05:52 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 20:06:55 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Feb 28 11:56:44 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 11:56:44 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 31 20:35:39 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 20:36:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 30 09:03:02 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 30 09:05:59 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Oct 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 15 17:59:16 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 06:38:08 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 03 08:25:33 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 08:28:04 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Nov 24 05:18:05 -0800 2009 Thu Oct 02 07:28:15 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 16 16:30:29 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Apr 25 14:55:55 -0700 2008 Fri Jan 09 07:51:02 -0800 2009
"Quite crude at some bits, and you want to shout at the main characters for being so stupid too, but the rest of it is good."

It fits my recollections of this book exactly!]]> 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 16:51:17 -0700 2009 Thu Jan 15 17:19:26 -0800 2009 Wed Apr 01 16:51:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 03 06:30:31 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 06:32:52 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Mar 07 05:17:02 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 05:19:49 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=161344
