MY THOUGHTS -
I have to be honest - I did not really care for this book at first. About 1/4 of the way through I thought I would just stop reading. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't keeping my interest. But then it slowly started to grow on me. Then 1/2 way I started liking it. And by 2/3 in I was so darn emotionally invested I couldn't stop reading if I wanted to.

I rally liked Jennifer and her zany, quirky friends. They seemed like the kind of people I would hang out with. There were a few "been there-done that" a few laugh out loud moments and a few cry into the book moments.

As a memoir, this was very believable. Jennifer did a great job of inviting you into her world, even the more private moments. Also, love the title and love the cover  :-)
Since her first book is a memoir it will be interesting to see what else she has in store for us. I hope she continues writing - I would read another one!
