This is an odd book. It is about dating, and relationships. Adult ones, so not a book for the kiddies, or even the teens.
But it is a bit odd. It is mostly told from the perspective of Jane. Chapters jump a bit through her life, and tell the story of her loves. In the middle of the book is a chapter from the perspective of Nina, who doesn't know Jane, although they live in the same building. Nina has a grown son who announces he has impregnated two different women- and is about to be a double father. I kept thinking somehow this chapter about Nina and her children (and eventual grandchildren) was somehow going to tie in with Jane's life. I don't think it ever did. Just a random chapter in the middle of the book.
But, it is a fast, fun read. Perfect for a subway commute or waiting in the parking lot for soccer practice to be through. Not a book to stay with you, I don't think. But, hopefully the moral has better sticky stuff; Be Yourself.
Okay?
I read this book a year or so ago, and I cannot remember much about it.

Not very sticky.
