The comic book"inspired cover and Lisa Kudrow blurb are the icing on this cupcake of a novel. This struck me as being a book version of some of the really bad "reality" shows out there, or at least what the commercials and articles on them make them look like. What you notice first and foremost about Ellen Meister's debut novel is how humane she is as a writer. The women she writes about are real-they are not caricatures, they are not stereotypes. Instead they fall down, they embarrass themselves, they lose control.

Although I think that the book was well written and nicely paced, I didn't really get a feel for the characters or their situations.
