I was very excited to be reading this book for a college class. I am only 27 and found myself going through a rough divorce and thought that this book would be helpful and easy to relate to. I was sadly mistaken. This book bored me to death and it took everything I had to try to finish the book without falling to sleep. I felt as though the Author's experiences of life didn't relate to me at all. I don't even want to go see the movie now because of how disappointed I was with the book. Hope others enjoy it more than I did, but I wish I hadn't wasted the money.
