Summary: taking group therapy into their own hands!
Review: Janey cannot get over her relationship with Tobias, even though it ended three years ago. She joins group therapy with a motley crew of several other women with their own issues -- like 40something Barbara who still lives with her mother, and Suzanne, whom they nickname "the Weaver" because she is always talking about her long pointless dreams starring her dog Ginger. This group is headed by a male therapist.One day after about a year, the members of the group decide to overthrow their therapist and take matters in their own hands. They decide, among their goals, to help Janey teach Tobias a lesson ... However, it's not all that straightforward. The grea thing about Medoff's work is, it never is!! The plot is a bit disturbing, it is certainly tragic at times and there is a discomfort knowing that there are actually female interpersonal relationships like this out there -- no real trust where a man is concerned ...... Very good read. Highly recommended.

Summary: Good Girls Gone Bad
Review: Jillian Medoff's "Good Girls Gone Bad" is a page turner. I couldn't put it down ... On the surface, it might seem like a girl's (seven of them) search for Mr. Right, but beneath the surface it deals with serious themes--abandonment, suicide, the war of the sexes, female bonding, psychotherapy, and the power our parents have over us--with great humor and literary skill. Anybody who's had a friend, or a mother and a father, or been spurned by a lover should read this book. Medoff's women may obsess about the opposite sex, but they find empowerment with each other.

Summary: Darkly hilarious!
Review: What a clever read! Medoff leads the reader toward one direction and then the course of the story changes dramatically. Good Girls Gone Bad is a dark comedy that is to be relished from cover to cover! Janey Fabre suspects that she isn't quite normal. After all, she's stalked her ex-boyfriend for two years and is tormented with a painful past. But when she joins a support group that consists of female patients, she is comforted with the fact that there are far more neurotic New York women out there. The women in the group are all middle-aged single women. There's Suzanna -- a.k.a., the Dream Weaver -- a woman in love with her dog; Laura, a one-night stand enthusiast; Bethany, a forty-year-old divorcee who now lives with her mother. And there are the neurotics-bordering-to-insanity -- like Ivy, a sexy southerner who thinks that getting plastic surgery is like brushing her teeth; Valentine, an attractive overweight woman who overeats when she's anxious; and Natasha, who is preoccupied with contamination and diseases. Each of one of these ladies supplies laugh-out-loud situations. Despite the dark language in the novel, Good Girls Gone Bad is a tale of friendship and sisterhood. The women, namely the protagonist, face events that change their lives. I loved this novel and I look forward to reading more books by this talented author.

Summary: So Funny !!
Review: Who would have thought that a book about group therapy could be so funny? This book is hilarious! I have caught myself laughing out loud many times, (and that can be really embarrassing while in public!) and I can't help thinking that this book would make a fantastic movie. It's that funny. The women in this book all have major physcological problems, but when they team up they don't seem so crazy. Together these women go on a revenge rampage getting even with anyone and everyone who ever wronged them.Makes me want to join group therapy myself!I loved it and will definitly look forward to more book by Jilliam Medoff.

Summary: Really Smart and Thoughtful - A Great New Author!
Review: With "Good Girls Gone Bad" by Jillian Medoff it's ANOTHER case of the cover hooking me in and then being very pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the book. I found this tale of female bonding, therapy and self-discovery very enlightening, funny, heartbreaking and charming all at once. This book takes you from one direction to another and if you don't pay close attention you'll lose your way. But - if you are careful and really "listen" to these women I have no doubt that you'll find yourself somewhere in the middle, just like I did. Beware, the mirror is scary at times. A really nice surprise! Great 2nd effort!
