  <default-description>Rena never meant to steal her ex-boyfriend's dog. She was just casually driving by his new house, taking stock of his new life, when the dog invited himself into her car...Okay, so she stole the dog. But how could Brian, her boyfriend of seven years (not to mention &#8220;unofficial&#8221; fianc&#233;), have done this to her? Fallen off the face of the earth, only to resurface with a gorgeous, live-in girlfriend and live-in dog? Honestly, a girl can only take so much. Besides, how could a yellow lab as great as this one be happy living with those two very bad people?

Unfortunately, being a dog-napper is the least of Rena's problems. Her mother&#8217;s dating a &#8220;potential&#8221; serial killer, her sister&#8217;s having an identity crisis and she&#8217;s the target of one hopeless fix-up after another&#8212;most recently, the highly moral Chuck, who just happens to know all about Rena's dog-napping escapades. If Rena wants to straighten things out, she'll have to face up to the choices she's made, the dreams she's put on hold, and the man who broke her heart. </default-description>

The main character is Rena, a college-educated waitress with no motivation to live up to the potential everyone else thinks she has.

    <body><![CDATA[I could really appreciate the narrator's sarcastic tone.  The story line was good, and she had good characterization.  I was pleased with the way it ended.

    <body><![CDATA[Gone to the Dogs was a pretty easy read, and at the same time was funny and keep me interested.  Overall I really enjoyed the book, and would definitely read it again!  One thing I really liked, is how the author provided enough pertinent information about the Orthodox Jewish faith, without distract...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62399960">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I won this in a First Reads contest in July of 2009.  It is completely not my type of book, but someone who's a fan of so-called &quot;chick lit&quot; might enjoy it.  Guterson is witty, but her plot failed to grasp me.  I gave this book to a coworker who loves the Twilight series and she enjoyed it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63201099">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book. I was caught up right from the opening paragraphs. It is a story about relationships and family and just how life and events can just start spiraling out of control. <br/>The main character, Rena, is funny and real(and possibly in need of some therapy!)I will definitely ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63207785">more...</a>]]></body>
