Review: The novel is often funny.
Rating: 5 out of 5

I had some trouble categorizing this. I think that is a positive. It is funny. The characters are rich, round and complex—not silly caricatures. Zack is a corporate consultant—and a very good one. Vera is an entrepreneur, and Gwen is about to become a lawyer. Everyone is smart. I liked the women. It took me a while to develop an opinion about Zack. Soon readers see Zack do well in so many different kinds of situations, I think you have to like and admire him. The sequences with Zack and his psychiatrist are excellent—fun and witty. And before long, the novel really takes off. You would learn a great deal about the characters if you simply read the sex sequences, which are winning and exciting and, in my opinion, quite good—but then you’d miss out on a good deal of the fun.
