I didn't find this book as funny as I thought I would, but I found it to be so genuine and honest that it was remarkable. I haven't been divorced but it made me understand what my friends have been so much more, and build empathy for them and understand their experiences in ways that I don't think they would have been able to tell me or explain themselves. I found it refreshing that her friends were annoyed or mad. That she could have complex feelings and desires.
