this is the chronicle of a girl who becomes a woman who had a shitty life.
Review:
this was one of those "everyone must read" books in the late 1990's, I do not understand why. Wally Lamb is a great author and story teller, this is NOT and example of his talent, I actually do not understand why he let this be published. I understand that people are supposed to feel bad for the main character but I really want to smack her upside the head and say "yeah you had a shit run of it but you are worth more than that so man up and get a life". The whole premise of this novel pisses me off. I do not recommend this to anyone. Also there are so many cliches, mixed metaphors and stereotypes this reads like it was written by a teenager.
3/10
"Love is like breathing, you take it in and let it out."
"I think... the secret is to just settle for the shape of your life takes...Instead of you know, always waiting and wishing for what might make you happy."
"This was what could happen to you: you could end up this far from where you thought you were going."
"Accept what people offer. Drink their milkshakes. Take their love."
If you enjoyed this (you have no taste in books but I will assume you like reading about pathetic people) i recommend --- from most well written to drivel:
A Confederacy of Dunces (really well written but you still hate the protagonist)
Twilight Series (Bella is an idiot)
Fifty Shades of Grey series (Anastasia is an idiot and what is worse she ruined the name Anastasia for the future generations)
