Attachments

To be honest if I read this book before I ever set eyes on Eleanor & Park I probably wouldn't have read E&P which would have been a travesty! Don't get me wrong, Attachments is a great book, but it's on par with every other adult contemporary novel out there. Despite some references to D&D and Kevin Smith (which bumps my review up a whole star for that alone) this could have been any other Jennifer Weiner or Emily Giffin book.

But she's funny. And the book is sweet. She does really well writing in the male characters voice without it sounding stilted or strange. I loved Lincoln and wanted to punch Sam in the boob! Beth and Jennifer cracked me up all the time and I didn't see how everything was really going to come together in a not fairy-tale sort of way.

But it did. And I'm glad I read it.
