Negative Positive
Title: Women like us
Review: It is hard not to speak in cliches ("made me laugh and cry at the same time") about this book, but Gaffney has managed to take a fairly common format and by having her characters speak truthfully and honestly lifted it well above similar "womens" novels.It is the faults and self deceptions of these women that we empathise with, we love them for their moments of bravery, but we know them for their weaknesses.Their generosity and bitchiness jealousy and courage make them real, they are women we know. If Bridget Jones ever grows up she will need friends like these. My best friend lent this book to me and we are now planning a big dinner (women only,) this book will be on the menu.
