Thanks, That Was Fun by Andie Nash4.5 StarsReading this book made me take a look at my life and where I am right now and be totally humbled.  It made me realize how lucky I am.  It made me do a lot of reflecting and I felt a deep connection to it and the main character Jordan.  I once, many moons ago, like Jordan, was on a rocky road full of bad choices and relationships and while at the time it never seemed I would get out of the dark hole I seemed to find myself in, there was the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.  Although there are many times in my life that were not my finest moments and sometimes make me cringe, they brought me to where I am today and shaped the person I became…and for that, I would not change a thing!!Jordan, the main character is on a path that leads nowhere. She is rapidly approaching 30 and still stuck in the past and just “livng”.  Between rocky relationships with her friends, many, many unfulfilling work endeavors, a dead end job and lastly a path of relationships that ended in not only destruction but devastation.  She is a lost soul making bad choices upon bad choices in every aspect of her life.  I found myself rooting for her to stop wallowing and revisiting poor decisions and make a clean break with a new outlook on life.  The “recycling” cycle seems to be sucking her in and to her its easier to do this then to break away and make significant changes in her life.  The only place to go when you hit rock bottom is up and I won’t say if Jordan gets there because this book is definitely worth reading but its emotional to watch her journey.  There is discord with her friends, beginnings, endings and heartbreak in relationships and just all around suckiness in her life.  She uses alcohol and drugs as a crutch to shield her from her crappy existence.  However, events take place and she has somewhat of an epiphany that begins to send her on a more positive path.I am sincerely hoping there is a follow up story to Jordan’s journey. I really would love to see her get the ending she always wanted.  I am not saying that she didn’t…but it wasn’t the one I was rooting for.
