Title: Forget Bridget Jones--this is the real stuff
Review: These funny, wise, irreverent, at times brutal, always insightful stories are an antidote to the light and fluffy trend of single-girl-looking-for-love-in-urban-America stories. Instead, Emily Carter gives us Glory B., a rich girl fallen from a life of privelege in Manhattan, journeying through the dark night of drugs, alcohol, HIV, and addiction, to emerge in passive/aggressive Minnesota, where all the kids are above average. Carter's fluid sentences and ironic perspective are reason enough to read this captivating book. Glory is a hip and trendy New Yorker transplanted by fate and failure to the midwest, where she discovers that there IS life after death and where she falls in love with the people there for all the right reasons.
