I, of course, loved this book because I think I would love anything Jennifer Weiner writes. I am a little surprised that people disliked the book because of the overwhelmingly sad occurance at the end of the book. Did you all think Good in Bed was light hearted and breezy? Because, compared to this, I would say it was much less fantasy. The reason her books touch so many of us profoundly is because she writes about things that many of us endure, but aren't necessarily socially acceptable to discuss. The only thing that bothered me was that Cannie turned into such a soccer mom-type. I thought that was a little out of character, but considering where she came from, it makes sense. And this book is so interesting to read because of the self-reflexive element. You can't help but suspect that J.W. is using this as some sort of confessional or catharsis. Either way, loved the book- couldn't put it down. I hope she writes one a year for the rest of my life!
