Not as funny as I had hoped. Some spots were a bit slow and some were really funny. If you've had some dysfunction in your life, especially with your parents, this book brings a little humor to it all.

very honest character

I enjoyed this book although I found it hard to understand the main character's reluctance to stand up to her emotionally abusive parents. I should think that by the time one is 36, one would be able to tell the parents where to get off.
So the main character is a bit of a pushover but despite that, her story was interesting and a little bit amusing and, while not a real engrossing book, still made for a pretty good read.

A single woman in L.A. celebrates seven of her birthdays with annual journal entries (beginning on her 36th) recounting her yearly endurance test a.k.a. her sure to be dreaded birthday "celebrations" with her dysfunctional family. Many singles will relate to the hilarious encounters with her series of "Mr. Wrongs" and some may think it over the top. If you relate to any it you will not only LOL but cringe and thank your lucky stars these things didn't happen to you. I've given this book as a b-day gift for a single friend that enjoys a cynical wit.
