Beautiful prose, an at times unlikeable heroine that we can all relate to- is there anything Sittenfeldnwrites that isn’t outstanding?

It was fine. I couldn't relate to Hannah, & I didn't like the jumps through time. The letter at the end was stramge to me because no other chapters were letters.

First off - don't judge this book by its title. The contents are nothing so frivolous as it would suggest.

This book started off feeling too close to home because I've got a lot of similar personality traits to the main character, but it got more interesting as things went on.

I really like how we see Hannah grow into her own self as the book goes on - at the end you'll feel like cheering her for making good choices and being able to tell you how she's progressed.

Very modern, very real, very good.

Btw - only putting this on the romance shelf because it deals mostly with the seeking of love and relationships - not for any stereotypical reason.
