For gosh sake--why did it take me so long to hit this book in my TBR queue? If I'd have known it was soooo good, I would have cheated long ago and bumped it up higher (which in fact I have done with other Brea Brown books now). The story of Libby, Jude, and their entourage is not a traditional chick lit book. The characters are people I know: flawed, funny, fatalistic, and with fetchingly endearing foibles. They come across so genuine due to Brown's a wry writing style that keeps you engaged from beginning to end. You will struggle with them and cheer their base hits as well as boo their errors (a little nod to the baseball allusions/experiences throughout). Pick this book up and read it. Don't tuck it away in your TBR like I did.
