Customer Reviews

for people who like to look inside

This book is really funny, intelligent, and surprisingly intimate. Adrienne Eisen writes about topics that you don't usually read about in novels --beach volleyball, commodities trading and bulimia. And she writes better than anyone else about topics you hear about a lot--like ex-boyfriends, blow jobs and lesbian sex. I could not put the book down.

Adrienne knows how to write without seeming false

A friend of mine introduced me to Adrienne's writing by giving me her web address, since then, I've been hooked. I went as far as printing out the majority of them and leaving it on my coffee table, which is great for conversation. Now, I have a book to put on my coffee table!If you're not sure if you want to get this book, I suggest you look at her site first, you won't be disappointedI know this isn't much of a review, but judge for yourself with the free stuff online.

Everywoman's baggage

Adrienne Eisen's writing can strike a chord in anyone. The main character is so complex that readers are sure to identify with at least one facet, whether it's neuroticism at its finest or the enlightened discovery of a personal truth. But that's what Eisen does best: she unveils the character's faults in a most self-deprecating way that the reader can't help but like her and push for her achievements. As Everywoman, she reflects the conflicts of her generation and the ultimate responsibility of the self to resolve them. I'm definitely looking forward to her next book.

Is this really non-fiction?

Adrienne Eisen's voice is totally unique and what she writes about is rare to hear someone say but common to feel. I love the narrator and I laughed out loud throughout the book.
