book seventeen
Me Times Three
by Alex Witchel
Another chick lit book borrowed from Coworker L*. After reading the first chapter (on the treadmill, naturally), I thought I knew what the book was going to be like. It is revealed in the first chapter that the main character's fiance is actually engaged to two other women as well as her. So I assumed it would be a completely fluffy (anti)romance book.
But it ended up being a much more honest portrayal of a woman's life. It wasn't only about her (ex-)fiance - it was also about her job and her friends and her parents and her gay best friend and AIDS in the 80s and dating and all kinds of stuff.
The ending was a little stilted, but not unbelievable. I would try the author's other books, too.
