I liked this! I got a bit tired of all the philosophizing about marriage and monogamy after a while, but I enjoyed the characters. It's weird how Lily's sleeping around is presented as a big issue, but not her drinking or doing drugs. I mean, by the other characters or the text itself. It was also interesting to me that these people just always had cocaine. Like, you could just ask for some and someone would produce it. I don't think I have any friends like that. Anyway, fun read! I did not foresee the twist with Will!

I only finished because I had heard it was a kind of female perspective I likely hadn't read before. Now I think there's a reason... If this is the way women will achieve sexual freedom, please Count me out. Drunken infidelity is not freedom, it's irresponsible. Show me a heroine who is making an actual choice to avoid monogamy (sex and the city) and I'll be happy.… (mehr)
