Hilarious and Heartbreaking! A Must-Read
This is a book about food. More precisely, this is a book about eating food—or not eating it. It is a hymn to food. It is a testament to our relationship with food and how that relationship sometimes goes wrong. Very wrong. It is both hilarious and heartbreaking.

It is also a book about aging and how women endure, fight and/or give in to the inexorable process of having birthdays.

And it is a book about love. Love between men and women. Sexual tension between men and women. And the very precious, lifegiving love of a BFF.

This book by Elizabeth Berg is not to be missed. It is authentic and true. Read it!

Loved these stories
I loved these stories. Weight watchers, this book will make you laugh. The resilience of women runs through these stories.

Would have been able to finish but....
Obvious that Elizabeth Berg is a great author. This book began as one I really wanted to read. Got as far as page 5. Was the f-word really necessary? I promise to buy any future book by this talented author, if profanity is omitted.
