This book seemed like an honest look at a woman struggling through a divorce and was a fast read. I But this is the second of Berg’s books that I have read and haven’t really been all that impressed. Some of the writing and content was wonderful and very well written while other parts seemed rushed and undeveloped. There are two significant occurrences at the end of the book that although were life altering changes for Samantha, only garnered a few pages and didn’t really seem resolved. I won’t say what the things were because someone might want to read the book but feel free to contact me for further discussion. Definitely not a book worthy to be used in my AP class but possibly a good vacation read. One of the things I didn’t like about this book was the subject matter- it is depressing to read about divorce and it is a topic that frustrates me anyway. I would suggest this book if you want to complete all of the books on the Oprah list but I don’t think I would really encourage anyone to read it. Besides, I don’t think Oprah knows anything about books and I try to shy away from anything with her name on it which is bad because I think she does publicize some good books. However, I don’t want to seem like I am so unoriginal in my book choices that I need Oprah to tell me what is good literature or not. Okay, one more rant—I don’t know why Oprah is so popular because she has no connection with her audience which consists mostly of wives and mothers, two things that she is not. Okay, I am done—I guess the bottom line is that you probably don’t want to read this book.
