I found myself rolling my eyes every few pages at the general misogyny, objectification, and general stupidity of the men in this book. I suppose it was an accurate portrayal of these characters, but it still fell short of anything great.

I really like Alex Robinson. I have fond memories of discovering Box Office Poison for the first time after graduating college, so I was excited to see a new (to me, at least) title from Robinson. It's just as rich and complex as BOP, if a little more melancholy.
I didn't like it as much as BOP, though, but I think that's more to do with me than with the writing or art. It's a very realistic portrayal of the growing pains in adult friendships and relationships, and I think that I was looking for more of an escape than this particular volume offered. It's definitely worth reading once.

Every bit as good as "Box Office Poison".

3.5 stars. I love how complete Alex Robinson's characters are and how very real the lives they inhabit present themselves on the pages. It's also been a treat through the years to grow up along various life stages of his stories. The story here was a little thinner but I still devoured this and will continue to read everything he writes.
