Here's the thing. This book is terrible. And I hate to say that, you know? Someone took a lot of time and effort to put this together but my God is this book bad.
There's no plot at all. The main character, Elsie, is beyond infuriating. She has absolutely no direction and lives off daddy's money. Add in the fact that she has obvious major self-esteem issues (what was with that "boyfriend" of hers?!), and a money-pushing father in that 'here's a check for $4,0000... college is a waste anyway' kind of way and this book brings absolutely nothing to the table.

Ugh, double ugh. I had a hard time slogging through this story of thirty-something year old Elise trying to 'find' herself. Elise doesn't know what she wants from life, love or even work. I loved the parts about Elise's Sri Lankan travels. Didn't need the politics, was that supposed to go somewhere? I didn't feel sorry for Elise or even like her very much. This was a chore to read. I didn't mind the excessive sex chatter, but it does become just that, excessive.
