Title: I feel old
Review: "Girls' Guide" was the first chick lit book I ever read, and I remember thinking at the time how unrealistic these books are...that these women can "summer" in their families' homes in Martha's Vineyard, and they end up getting jobs in NYC with no real problem. That's just not something I could relate to. And as a writer myself, I thought it must be really easy to get published, since all these chick lit books are the same."The Wonder Spot" was an interesting idea, but I felt like she was lapsing into the same-old, same-old. The characters weren't realistic and didn't hold down realistic jobs or have realistic money situations or realistic vacations. More than anything, as I read and watched Sophie's life drift by, I myself became more aware of how life can just pass you by without your doing anything worth much. I'm 28, and after reading this book, I feel like Ive aged 15 years and like the best part of my life is already behind me.
Is the review positive or negative?
