Coming-of-age

Unlike Megan, who put me onto this title, I did not find myself laughing out loud. I chuckled, I rolled my eyes, and I smiled and got a little teary.
This is a fun book written in sections which don't necessarily fill in what happens in between the episodes of the main character's life. At one point, it changes completely to the second person, which is kind of interesting, as though I am reading about my life- and as a single woman in my thirties discovering about myself and about love, I very well could be.
It was a quick read, and felt like an honest one- someone who wasn't going to romanticize things or make them neat and tie up well and have things make sense.
(Though I wouldn't mind that now and then. If I can't have it in my life, at least I can have a little in my guilty pleasure reading, right?)
There aren't any answers here, and I didn't even feel like I had gained a friend in the main character, but I enjoyed stepping into her life and seeing how the imaginary women live. ( )

Like a few other readers, the cover and title convinced me to pick it up.

The book was funny, light and morally deficient. I chewed it for a bit, and then, when the flavor was gone, I threw it away. ( )

The title refers to books for women on how to catch a husband by making it a game. Better to be yourself than to play at being things you are not. ( )

Wasn't sure what to expect. Sort of surprised it was very good.

Like Jane the book was smart and funny. I love that there was practically no whining about life's hardships, and that Jane's family were close, loving and mostly supportive. And it may have taken Jane a minute or two to recognize when it was time to gracefully end both professional and personal relationships and move on. And she does successfully.

I found the last part of the novel mostly happy but also confusing about why Jane was trying to follow some strange, nonsensical set of rules. Perhaps I spaced out while reading that section.

Yes, finding true love can be hard but so worthwhile!
