Alison's live in boyfriend goes out during a diner party, and while out calls up and tells Alison it's over and he is in love with someone else. So begins Alison's examination of her life and the meaning or existence of Big Love.
A cut above many chick lit books I have read. The dialogue is witty, the characters very real and believable. Snappy dialogue reminiscent of a scene from Sex and the City, you will be rooting for Alison the whole way.

This book was a disappointment. I did not find it funny. The character, who makes a big deal out of being an ex-Evangelical Christian, is politically incorrect for chunks of this book.
It was amusing at best at times.

Haven't quite finished yet, but unless something strange happens, I am REALLY digging this book! I have some things in common with the main character, though she's WAY more neurotic.

after reading the summary to this book i thought it'd be fantastic. well, it was far from that. i always finish a book even if it's just pretty unbearable to read. it started out slow and didn't grab my attention. once i got to the middle there were 2-3 chapters that were quite page turners, but then it turned sour again, kind of like that bad taste in your mouth. the story jumped too much around and she always exaggerated on things that i don't think really should be exaggerated on in this story, so that was another turn off to this book. although i was glad for the book to end, the ending seemed rather abrupt rather than a slow ease into the main characters farewell.

I really liked this book. It is written like the author is speaking to you personally. She describes conflict between her spiritual upbringing, her choice to have a live-in boyfriend and what she has done vs. what she could have done.
