Title: and will you respect yourself in the morning?
Product review: Even though Elizabeth says half-way through the book that she will never settle for less than what she wants, i.e., true love (and from the beginning you know she loves her mentor, Jake), ultimately she settles more than anyone. I know the author intended this to be a hip, "honest" portrayal of the now woman, and probably believes that Elizabeth isn't settling at all, but what does Elizabeth have at the end? A sometimes affair with a man who seems to sleep with whoever wherever he wants, who is having a child and living with someone else, and who basically is unwilling to acknowledge that Elizabeth means much of anything to him. Boy, sounds great! Without meaning to, the author has just presented me with the best reason of all not to have an affair--it's sleazy!
