For me this had a very slow start. It is not what I am used to reading and had such a depressing effect on me. However, the more I read the more I wanted to read and eventually found that I could not put it down. It is written sort of "dead pan" as if the main character is depressed. It seems as if nothing she does turns out right. However, I started to see the humor of our heroine. For example: "The flight was fine. There was a little incident in the beginning of the flight but it's not even worth mentioning. O.K. I threw up. So what? I mean it could have happened to anybody. But this guy sitting next to me started panicking like hell and even tried to open the window. Stupid bastard. When a stewardess came to stop him he pointed at me in disgust and said that he needed a breath of fresh air otherwise he would vomit too. She smiled at him the way movie stars smile at their fans and brought him a plastic bag. That's what I call Russian service." I absolutely loved the dry humor and was immediately sold. There is a lot of information about our heroine. She certainly wasn't living the high life and wasn't lucky in love. But she had a fighting spirit that came through to me very clearly. I finished the book with a big smile on my face having had enjoyed a look into her life.* I received a e-copy from the author for an honest review. I honestly enjoyed it very much!
