I finished reading Good In Bed this morning...it took me longer than I would have liked. My goal is one book a week, and this took me a week and a half...but whatever...I will survive!

I liked the book and thought it was a good read. I find Jennifer Weiner to be very witty and funny. I was not at all surprised at the ending and the love affair that blossoms...I knew that about 25 pages into it! This book seemed to drag a bit for me, there were situations in the book that I though could have been written in one page, but instead they dragged on for almost five pages. The main character was a bit loopy towards the end, and I had a hard time relating to her depression and downward spiral. I really liked Little Earthquakes better, but I have been told by several people that the first Jennifer Weiner book they read is the best (no matter which one) and from then on it's a bit of a disappointment.


Up next...The Stingray Shuffle by Tim Dorsey. The book is described as "Carl Hiaasen on meth, Elmore Leonard on acid, Dave Berry on Drano." Well, I thought Carl Hiaasen was crazy, but a good read...and Dave Berry is just fucking hilarious, so a bit of Drano is just unimaginable to me!
I will give it a try!
