Thirtynothing

I will have this book finished tomorrow. As fate would have it, I started reading this book just after I turned thirty (or thirtynothing) as the female protagonist calls it. All the descriptions of eating cheap curries made me crave a good curry today and I treated myself to one at lunch.

I'm finding this book to be bitter sweet. There are some very funny bits and some very sad bits. On a one to one level I don't find myself relating to either protagonist. I married my college sweetheart and we're still happily married. This book is a glimpse of what could have been if I hadn't actively persued my then boyfriend (now husband). If you're single -- let me tell you this -- people don't read body language at all. If you like someone -- TELL show more THEM! :) show less

This was a book of cliches... and not even well-woven ones at that. I should have gotten that from the cover, but I was always taught to never judge a book by its binding. I will be rethinking that lesson from now on.

I considered not finishing it after about 20 pages, and after hitting a flashback to the teen years, I decided to suck it up and finish it.

It took a day. I'm glad it cost me little else than a day's worth of reading and $1 on a clearance shelf.

I quite enjoyed this book. It's chick-lit for sure, but there are a couple of twists in the plot, and some interesting characters - although I agree with the other reviewer that the main plot is a little obvious. But sometimes that's nice. Like buying your favourite chocolate bar, and know that you're going to love it, rather than trying something different and being disappointed.

Thirty-year-old London friends, a male and a female, have their romantic ups and downs with others with predictable results, but getting to the end of the book is quite fun.

This book was even more stupid and predictible than I thought it would be. Ugh.

it was ok, nothing amazing but a good read on holiday

I'm a bit annnoyed. I got really excited to read this book based on reviews, so I figured it'd be a safe bet to buy it. Yeah, they don't print this book anymore. I'm sure theres a copy in the second hand shops, which I love by the way. I'm just annoyed that the book wasn't readily available when I was ready to read it.
