An enjoyable "summer read". As I read Carrie Kabak's words, it gave me a "peek" into a someone else's lifestyle, a family that is real. It is enjoyable to travel back through a family's "history" and see how they arrive at today.

A surprisingly delightful read which I have highly recommended to fellow readers and book club members! This was an engaging tale of an only child growing up with dysfunctional parents and the resulting affects throughout her adult life.

This was a enjoyable, easy read. The book was somewhat reminiscent of "Bridget Jone's Diary" without the narrator's ability to poke fun at herself - although, not being as humerous did not make it any less enjoyable. The characters were well-drawn and the frustrations were real, both easy to relate to. This would be a great book club read as there is some real depth to the dilemna of Kate's decisions and her interactions with the other characters which would lead to a great discussion.

It arrived just in time! I had just finished a "heavy read" and was looking for something "easy and quick." I found the book extremely easy to read due to the fact that the characters were so real. I was immediately drawn into the story and connected with the characters. I was able to relate to Kate's relationship with Biddy only too well.

This book was a quick read with amusing scenarios and dialogue. Unfortunately, I found myself so irritated by Kate's character who had no self and spent her life pleasing others, that it colored my perceptions. I have met too many women who have lost their "souls" and become doormats for others to walk on. That however, is what I thought makes this book a perfect vehicle for a women's book club discussion. Some will find it funny and entertaining while others may be disturbed and angry..A great conversation is sure to emerge...
