Don't let the title fool you into thinking this is a boring read. It isn't. It is one of the best contemporary fiction I have read. I loved it. The book is written as journal entries from 4 people. Through these journal entries, you learn about each of them. From their childhood, college, young adulthood and approaching 40 currently for each of them. It delves into relationships with parents, friends and romantic and sexual relationships. There is also a person who is in her 20's writing journal entries as well. Her perspective is completely different than the others and adds a contrasting perspective of life and relationships.Each discusses the journey of life and how it doesn't really turn out the way you planned or expected when you were younger. It turns out much different. There are parts I laughed out loud literally and found myself nodding in agreement. There were moments I was amazed with the story and the twists and literally was like WOW. I even shed a few tears. I truly enjoyed this read. It held my interest immensely. Stayed up late because I wanted to read "one more entry".I don't want to give too much away in the review. I believe it would spoil the read for you. Pick up this book and read. You will go through many emotions and you will find yourself relating to many of the characters' situations. You will want to stay up and read "one more entry" into the wee hours of the night.
