Britta's review
The Late Bloomer's Revolution by Amy Cohen (Goodreads author!)
October Book club pick by Claire.
It was ok. It did make me laugh (which makes the book worth it) and it was a super quick read, making me able to catch up to the book club (which also is a huge plus for me). But what does it say about me if I thought Amy (the Author, it's a memoir) was a complainer? Buck up! So she's single and 38? Big deal. There is such a thing as enjoying the now and seizing the day. Sheesh. The author makes it sound like getting a husband and starting a family is the end all of everything. It's the Journey Amy! Enjoy the ride, Jeez.
**spoiler alert** Amy does come to this conclusion at the end of the book, but it took her a LONG time. (Like 39 years of her life!) Sad!
But it did make me laugh at parts... :)
I give it an "ok" on my scale.
For the record, my scale:
No
Poor
OK
A-OK
Good
Yes
