  <default_description>Told through the eyes of three young women and their friends and lovers, Instant Love explores what it means to be in love, what it means to be lonely, and what it means to be both at the same time. Holly turns to computer dating to find love even as she thinks wistfully of a former boyfriend who loved her well and fed her ice cream. Maggie recounts the story of her one crazy summer to her disbelieving husband and feels the distance between them grow wider than the void across their king-sized bed. And Sarah Lee remembers the one who got away and the one she ran away from, all the while moving toward the one she can actually love.

As Holly, Maggie, and Sarah Lee move through the rituals of modern love, they have to decide who is worth taking a chance on in a world where things don&#8217;t fall into place easily, people are often difficult, and disappointment is the rule. Through their stories, Attenberg presents a rare, honest look at love.

    <body><![CDATA[Based on the cover (mine actually has a gorgeous melty popsicle) and the jacket, I expected this to be chick lit.<br/><br/>And it was, of a sort, but better.<br/><br/>It's a collection of interwoven short stories about girls and women moving through relationships. It's more well written than I'd...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8171389">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I seen that a lot of people gave this book four or five stars, but I just did not think that it was that good.  It was sometimes confusing to follow and I felt that it ended abruptly.  It was not your typical happy ending book where all the story lines wrap up neatly. In fact, it did really even fee...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7891491">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At first I found the book a little depressing and couldn't figure out where the author was going, but I was pleasantly surprised the further on I read. Intertwining stories about heart-break, moving on, and falling in love. It was creatively written and definitely one of the best books I have read!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just did not find any of the woman in these stories sympathetic.  They all left me feeling that their inability to find and or keep love was their own fault.  The female characters all seemed to me to be basically the same person over and over again and the men were treated very superficially.  ]]></body>
