Currently Reading: F*ck Marriage by Tarryn Fisher
I don't think I read one book the whole way through all summer long; I just couldn't get into anything. Once Fall started I finished off all of the remaining chick-lit reads I had lined up and then I read a couple of self-helps books recommended by my therapist and a couple of friends as well, and then the Friend Zone book I mentioned in my last post.
While the last book wasn't amazing by any means, it did remind me that there are other authors out there that I should try! So, I went scouring for something new and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found!
I couldn't put this book down! I was that girl with her nose in her book (now, cellphone) all the way to work again. It's a little bit chick-lit, a little bit romance (usually NOT my thing) and a little bit of heartbreak too. Divorce, affairs, engagements, and a really popular blog as the office setting! And the title was misleading, as in it does not condemn marriage the way you assume that it will... which is not why I picked it up, for the record!
It's an easy read, nothing requiring too much thought, and there are some really good quotes that I want to go back and grab for later. The characters were relatable in many ways and the story line was pretty straightforward. I will caution you that the last 1/3 of the book pales in comparison with the first 2/3 but, that said, when I got to the last page I was kind of sad there was nothing more to read!
That is, until I grabbed another book by the same author! That's the best part, she has a bunch of books out already so I will probably be stuck on her for a little while!
