review 1: Wow. I loved this book so much! I'm usually stingy with my 5 star ratings but didn't even hesitate giving _My (not so) Storybook Life_ 5 stars. I love how Elizabeth Owen starts each chapter with a modern day update of my favorite book characters. Owen puts a new twist on the "happily ever after" of Jo March, Tom Buchanan, Anne Shirley & more. The heart of each chapter tells the story of Owen's friendship with Angela, Owen's adventures as a new wife & homeowner, and more. I truly laughed out loud several times while reading her stories. I finished the book feeling like a friend of both Elizabeth & Angela. I love this book!
review 2: I loved this book!! I laughed and cried my way through its entirety. I had a very hard time putting it down! Elizabeth Owens ta... morekes readers through a sad tale of friends and loss, all the while adding the day to day that she and her husband are going through and the stress that seeing someone that you are close to and love fight cancer, and the feelings of helplessness and loss that go along with it as you stand by that person. This book was one that helped me to realize the good friends I had, and to rekindle some old friendships that I had let grow stale. Ms. Owens brings the day to day humdrum that we all dread back with a refreshing laugh as she tries to bake cookies and then ends up feeding them to dog next door, while pouring out her troubles to a eager listener. I would recommend this book to everyone! Its a must read! less
