review 1: I used to listen to Winik's essays on NPR when she lived in Austin and was married to a gay with whom she had two sons. He died, she left NPR, and I wondered what happened to her. I stumbled on this book and found out she had moved back East and had gotten married. This marriage lasted about 10 years, resulted in a daughter, and this memoir was written about her post-divorce life. I kept thinking she was the most sex-obsessed person I had ever come across. Then I remembered how you think and act when you're a newly divorced single woman who wonders if anyone will ever look at you again and thought she wasn't so bad after all. The book is funny and she did calm down after some misadventures.
review 2: First half showed promise - moderately funny; with details of... more various & different types occupying the on-line dating scene being very instructional (author does the stumbling, saving me the slightest interest in stumbling on in her tracks). But it all went on far too long. Not to mention the hubris of this woman! If most American females are anything like her it's a wonder there is any real happiness in that country. less
