Rating: 5 out of 5

Dogs and thin ladies, admission required, spaces limited. Want to attract money, make something exclusive...an attractive and appealing proposition.In this book, author JEJ employs a multigenre approach, concocting a rich mixture that is entertaining. There is romantic comedy that asks the reader to look beyond the plot and identify the issues. There is journey and return in this story: starting over, making a fresh new start, reinventing life, while not quite fitting in. Overall, it's a sacrilegious breath of fresh air.Protagonist Pippin Snowe, is a strong willed, no-surrender type. As she is going through a divorce her feelings are dynamic, susceptible to instability, which makes her a sympathetic character who all readers, both men and women, will be able to relate to easily.The story is cleverly written. It will cause you to laugh often, long, and of course, out loud. In fact, there are many laugh out loud moments. For example, the housekeeper and the snobbish women are sources of wit, humor, and laughter. This story will keep you turning the pages, eager to know what happens next. Engaging and enjoyable reading.This book makes you think in a profound way also. Yes, Pippin left her husband but is this book about a woman in search of herself, or about a woman who wants revenge? Is this a quest of some sort? And to be perfectly clear, a lot of people in this book are looking for something too. On a larger level, regardless of your reasons for picking up this book, you will put this book down the wiser for having read it. For me, that's a good book, able to take you on a journey of self-discovery by allowing you to see the journey of others... Highly recommended, for entertainment and for self-discovery, a must-read. Enjoy the many laughs this book will provide you with.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofStory Tellers: In Pursuit of Happiness
