By the same author as "About a Boy" - the one that was made into a movie starring Hugh Grant
Hilarious book. The author writes in first person as a woman who "confronted by her husband's sudden and extreme spiritual conversion, is forced to learn 'how to be good' - for better or worse"

I liked this book a lot. The dialogue is quite funny in places, and the subject matter is thought-provoking. It really make you think about how we define "good", and whether idealistic goals are worth striving for.
I'll probably bring this to a meet-up to share.

Thanks, Laura, that was very nice of you. Looking forward to the read.
I liked this quite a lot. I really enjoyed the frank look at the meaning of "good" and how our intentions and our motivations don't always materialize into what we expected, whether for better or for worse. Too often people seem to do "good" things without thinking about why they do them, or refrain from doing things that they believe to be "bad", again without thinking about why. This is an interesting look at this strangely rampant problem. Thanks for sharing.
