The strange thing about this book is that I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, found it humorous at times and insightful at others and yet the plot pretty much went nowhere and I didn't exactly like the characters. It is a testament to clever writing that I liked it so much. Isabel is going through a rough patch. Her marriage is on the rocks, her daughter is starting to hit puberty and her best friend died in a car accident. This book jumps around following how her life came to be like this and how she deals with it, usually with snarkiness. There were some really funny moments and moments that I really related to but I have to say that Isabel was not an entirely rational person and I really didn't like most of the characters. I am not sure that anything is resolved in this book but dropping in on this woman's life was entertaining. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
