Like a Saturday Night Live sketch, this book is not flawless, but it is very funny and almost perfectly embodies obsession and dysfunction in the cynically conceived get a life delusion that passes for the “heroine’s” existence. It’s one of those stay up all night to see how she gets over him reads. The quote that best describes the sarcastic style and tone is: “Once you do something against your better judgment, it gets easier to do something else against your better judgment and pretty soon, you’re doing things against everyone’s better judgment.” Actually, I was so sick of hearing about that obnoxious Eugene Obello that I could hardly bear to go back and search through the book for the name of the neurotic narrator who is so fixated on whatever it is he means to her that she seems to have lost not only her senses but her name. The ending is even harder to believe than all that precedes. Patricia Marx, go directly to Saturday Night Live. On the way, pass GO and collect $$$ to buy more baked potatoes to take out of the oven with your bare hand.
