Review: Jane has gone off the rails....
Rating: 4 out of 5

Jane is living in limbo, a 35 year old who has had the same job, house, friends and life for far too long. Things begin to shift when her younger brother announces he is getting married and her life begins to shift full tilt, whether she plans to come along or not.In the hands of another author, Jane could have been an annoying whiner. Instead Trautman makes her a relatable character that you root for even as she does yet another thing you find totally stupid. I spent my entire morning reading the second half of the book because every time I put it down I'd think "Oh, just one more chapter won't hurt..."A well written, well paced book about the reality many Gen X women are facing right now: can we move beyond the goals we've set ourselves to have real connections and live greater lives? I guess you'll have to get to the end of the book to find out.
