From the beloved, New York Times-bestselling author of Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress comes a hilarious, timely, and big-hearted new novel about rebuilding life in the face of disaster. Forty-five-year-old Donna Koczynski is an ex-punk rocker, a recovering alcoholic, and the mother of two teenagers whose suburban existence detonates when she comes home early from a sales conference in Las Vegas to the surprise of a lifetime. As her world implodes, she sets off on an epic road trip to reclaim everything she believes she's sacrificed since her wild youth: Great friendship, passionate love, and her art. But as she careens across the U.S. from Detroit to New York to Memphis to Nashville, nothing turns out as she imagines. Ultimately, she finds herself resurrected on the other side of the globe, on a remote island embroiled in a crisis far bigger than her own. Irresistibly funny, whip-smart, and surprisingly moving, DONNA HAS LEFT THE BUILDING spins an unforgettable tale about what it means to be brave -- and to truly love -- in a tumultuous world.… (més)

Started so promising, then got mired in pretty ridiculous scenarios. The last third was really disappointing. ( )

Well balanced, this book brings humor, challenge, relationships and family in the form of a well paced story. It launches with a bang when Donna comes home early from a sales conference to find her husband dressed as a French maid while an unknown Dominatrix hovers over him. Formerly a Punk Rocker, her journey reinvigorates her past life. Her friends run the gamut, the journey's filled with surprises and the author's sense of humor filters throughout it. Tragic at times, its engaging and evocative and a must read for mothers, former musicians and anyone seeking a great story. ( )

The writing's perfectly sound but, ugh! These middle-age coming-of-age tales leave me bored. I'm not going to pretend I read all of this; I read the beginning and the end and skipped over most of the middle. Its funny in an absurdist way and I can see how someone might like it more than I did.

Thanks to the publisher who were kind enough to send me an advance copy for review. ( )

I'm awake hours past bedtime because I wanted to finish this book - many twists and turns - felt real and fictional - yet I felt I could relate to Donna even never having been in her, umm, predicaments. If you find this book disappointing, message me to explain how that happened. ( )

I really wanted to like this book way more than I actually did. Donna was a hot mess but that was the whole concept for the book. Plus, I did not mind that she was so scatter brained. This was the charm about her as well as it showed that she was relatable and human.

What did not work for me were everyone else. I could not find any connection towards any of them. Thus they just faded into the mobpit. Which, Donna is a star in her own right but she actually benefits from others to help with her story. Therefore, when the other characters are not that intriguing it is up to the main character to lead the story or for the storyline to be really great.

My reading experience of this book was part reading/skimming. Plus I was waiting for all of the laughs to come. Sadly this book did not do anything for me. Yet, it might for someone else. ( )
