I figured an author associated with the show was worth a look, especially if she was as witty and funny as Lorelai and Rory. Luckily, I found "The Waltz" in one of my old English textbooks and loved it! So, I bought this book and was pleased to find her poems and reviews to have the same sarcastic tone (she puts my Goodreads reviews to shame), but by far, I like her short stories the best. I've read many of them over again (especially "The Waltz" and "A Telephone Call") and find her observations on relationships readable and relevant. The format is perfect for those who read in short spurts. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/850761?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
