It's been awhile since I've disliked a book this much and I have to admit, it's refreshing. I also may reread it someday, as unlikely as it seems, and reconsider. But at this moment in time, I found it to be one of those annoying books that makes one feel totally "uncool" for not appreciating it. Maybe it's the Mom in me, but I really couldn't warm up to the main character, Jane, who gets pregnant (okay two are involved), dismisses her incredibly supportive baby daddy and mother, gets drunk and crushes on a Mom on her delivery route. I just couldn't get into this hipster, whatever, "quirky" novel we considered as an adult novel for teens for our Young Adult Book Club (I would say it's NOT for most!). If irreverent, trendy adult fare is for you, I must admit it's a fast read and possibly despite my reservations and distaste. well written.
