My bookclub chose this book largely on the strength of the reviews. No one had read the book before we selected it. I'm generally the bookclub curmudgeon, but I enjoyed this choice. The book isn't one that I'll be rushing to recommend to everyone I know, but I was pleased to have read it and felt entertained during the week I spent with the story. I particularly fell for Leo, the trust fund son who was having trouble putting his life together. There is a definite hip feel to the dialogue and the characters -- these are people that you'd feel cooler for having as facebook friends. I hear the book is being developed as an HBO comedy and that seems wonderful. I'd watch it.
