Amy Gallagher is a college English instructor who's still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. Well, specifically she wants to be a published author, but keeps getting rejection notices in the mail which in turn messes with her already shaky self-esteem. She's a compulsive list maker, and is accused by her roommate of being overly cautious about living her life to its fullest.
Amy's stuck.
What follows in the story are her complicated, yet appealing relationships which are so rich and inviting to read about. I was so pleased with this book and went from laughter to tears as I read it. But rather than gush much more, I'll stop now. You know what they say about how a joke isn't funny if someone repeatedly tells you ahead of time how hilarious it is? Same here. Read the book and judge for yourselves. But for me, I'll enjoy waiting for Pierce's next work of fiction. Bravo!
