review 1: This should be the Bible for every 30 to 40 something woman who was cool back in the day and is struggling with embracing adulthood. Let me introduce you to Sara B., a neurotic woman turning 40 whose life as Queen of Cool slowly starts to unravel when her new friend/newly hired assistant usurps her at Snap, a magazine she co-founded with a longtime friend. Sara B. is a woman you will love to hate and learn to love. You will be privy to her innermost thoughts and feelings, her failings and successes...no stone is left unturned. I love Sara B. and I see a lot of myself in her. I can relate to Sara B. I know how she feels reconnecting with an old friend from back in the day only to find they've traded the bohemian life to become a suburbanite who buys into the white picket fe... morence dream. The only difference is, I'm not a bitch and I do care about people's feelings. Sara B. is definitely a bitch who has little regard for others until the shoe's on the other foot. Trust me, you will LOVE this book! I don't keep fiction and definitely not paperback books, but I must find a beat up, used copy of this!
review 2: Inside this All About Eve Story is a less-likable Margo Channing set in the insta-friend Canadian midwest. Episodic at best and repetitive at worst, Snapped's geratest flaw is a narrative voice you don't want to spend time with. Her big revelation (this is not a spoiler) is that she is an asshole, and well... what to do about that? A few too many plotlines, some funny secondary characters, a behind-the-scenes-in-magazines view about as deep as "Just Shoot me." And please do. I didn't finish it. I'll give it 2 stars for not being a complete mess, but I can't say I liked it much. less
