I think that this is by far the best book that I have read. Never have I felt so intrigued by a contemporary novel. I loved all the characters but above all I adored Esther Jackson,the main character. I enjoyed the subplots and the interwoven relationships between them. It is definitely one of those stories that I certainly wish did not have to end. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to laugh, blush,cringe, or say, 'You go girl!'
