Journal Entry 1 by azuki from Miami, Florida USA on Monday, December 08, 2008

"I don't admit to myself what I'm doing when I put my bike helmet on and ride over to the bookstore a few blocks away. I pretend that maybe I'm just getting another Edith Wharton novel. But I bypass Fiction and find Self-Help. I think, Self-Help? If I could help myself I wouldn't be here. There are stacks and stacks of How to Meet and Marry Mr.Right, and I take my copy up to the counter as furtively as if it were a girdle or vibrator..."

The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing explores the life lessons of Jane, the contemporary American Everywoman who combines the charm of Bridget Jones, the vulnerability of Ally McBeal, and the wit of Lorrie Moore. As she works her way from defiant teenager to reluctant career girl, growing older and getting smarter, Jane maneuvers her way through love, sex, relationships, and the occasional perils of the workplace. She reluctantly succumbs to the questionable advice offered in a pop-psych book entitled How to Meet and Marry Mr. Right.

Sending to my Birthday Exchange Partner! Happy Birthday!!

A fairly entertaining book. I'm on the fence on this one, it was bad but it wasn't great either. I felt that the book was lacking something with Jane. I can't couldn't relate to her, except when her Dad dies, she felt like a cardboard figure most of the book. I will be passing the book along soon.
