Literacy and Longing in LA

Meh. Literacy and Longing in L.A. is a typical going-through-life-changes chick lit book. It reminded me a little bit of Why Moms Are Weird, except that the main character in Why Moms Are Weird is charming. The main character here is wealthy and doesn’t know what to do with herself and reads all the time. It’s actually a bit like she was test-marketed: someone in market research for a book company figured out the attributes that the main character of a chick lit book should have. That got passed along and the company found two people to write it.

It’s not particularly bad, it’s just not particularly good. If you want to read something like it, go for Why Moms Are Weird instead.
