Summary: so true
Review: As a single thirty something woman, I completely identified with this book. It is Jane's journey to find love and ultimately herself.It is about becoming comfortable in your own skin, learning the sometimes brutal truth about yourself and those that you love. I read an article once that described finding true love as finding someone that makes your life easier and more fun. At the close of the novel I think Jane finds this and I was thrilled for her.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: J.D. Sallinger inspired...
Review: I think readers who read this book and thought it too "light" or "cute", did not understand the depth to this book! I bet the same was said about Catcher in the Rye...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice summer reading
Review: Fun book. Another of those where female can feel identified and laugh at the difficulty of finding a decent partner for them. My husband did not find it funny at all, he just could not relate.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great read!
Review: This book was very entertaining and it rang so true. The themes could be heavy at times, but is was never depressing. I liked that the chapters were all so different, it provided a sense of the character at different stages in her life. I loved the way the author dealt with all the different relationships the main character has. I highly recommend this book!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Disappointment
Review: I found the book to be too loosely thrown together. I felt like the author had a lot of humorous dialogue she wanted to share on the subject of dating and family life, but the vehicle for it is weak. Some of the chapters are unnecessary diversions and only confuse the timeline of events. If you are low on chick books left to read, go ahead and pick up a copy of the book, you will be entertained by the main character's wit. But there is little else to keep you turning the pages. Stick to Bridget Jones.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay
Review: This book seemed a little disjointed to me. In fact, there is one chapter in the middle of the book that I don't understand why it is part of the story. For a quick read, go ahead a read this book. However, don't bother if you want something satisfing to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A female "Catcher In the Rye"
Review: I couldn't put it down... This was the best book I've read in awhile. I loved Banks' voice and her character, Jane, had me laughing out loud; the book was uplifting and fun and I fell in love with the main character. I could somehow see similarities between Hunting and Fishing and Catcher in the Rye, with the everyday occurances of a really likable main character. A perfect beach read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Stellar
Review: Melissa Bank has a true gift with words. "You Could be Anyone" is about the most touching piece of fiction I've ever read. Far above the authors she is usually lumped with in the Helen Fielding genre, Bank's work has some true emotional depth to it.

My only question is: when the HECK is she publishing her next book?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Unusual Taste of Life
Review: It is the story of Jane Rosenal setting out on her journey in life. Jane gives us an unusual taste of life between her dating a man older than her father and her imaginary friends who wrote a book about how to attract men. It is funny, yet sad. All in all, as Jane grows up, the book becomes stranger and stranger switching points of view and having flashbacks. Still, with all the confusion, the book delivers a poignant message to it's readers. BE YOURSELF. That is the most important thing a book can tell a person.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very funny and enjoyable
Review: I literally read this book in a day while at the beach. It was a light, easy read. There was a chapter in the middle that threw me off and I still haven't figured out what it was about. I asked some others, and they don't know either. But parts of it were funny funny funny! I read some of them out loud to my beach companions, they were so funny. The character development was good, and the last half was better than the first. Over all, a fun and enjoyable read.
