Summary: A Great Read
Review: A friend recently heard Ms. Baggott do a reading in NYC and suggested I pick up this book. I am glad I did. A funny and touching story, beautifully told. Hard to believe this is a first novel. Ms. Baggott writes with the poise and confidence of an old pro.

Summary: What a fun read!
Review: I loved this book. The author has such compassion and affection for these oddball characters you can't help but love them (although I do wish Anthony Pantuliano had been slightly less troll-like. I mean, a big penis can only compensate for so much...) The voice is strong and seamless, the writing is poetic, and the plot flows. What more could you ask for in a book?

Summary: Not Just For Girls
Review: After my wife devoured the book, I picked it up and was instantly hooked! Baggott perfectly captures and describes an era of time that I instantly identified. The humor, which at times is both subtle and obvious, coupled with a diverse cast of characters, makes the reading of Girl Talk an excellent choice for all.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This whirlwind ride of a novel is wise and wise-cracking, audacious and open-hearted. Julianna Baggott is hilarious, whip-smart, and she writes like a dream. Read this book!

Summary: What a fun book!
Review: GIRL TALK is one of those novel that starts out being about one woman -- one woman with a BIG problem that is only going to get bigger -- and ends up being about all women. About the world in which women live, the secrets they keep, the fights they choose and the ones they pass. Their mothers, their friends, their lovers and their ghosts. The ending will remind you that Baggott is a poet, as well as fiction writer. You will not be disappointed.A wonderful addition to writers who came of age after the Vietnam War!

Summary: Ah, Wit
Review: Baggot's book begins with the adult narrator realizing she has relived the life of her mother, and the book proceeds to show us just why. Time and memory have a lovely slippery effect here, Lissy's 15th summer becomes her mother's 16th, which becomes her own present. What sets this book apart, though, is the wit and uniqueness of Baggott's voice and characters; she places us firmly in a world where life itself is absurd--not to mention the cast of characters that come with it.

Summary: Don't miss this one
Review: Girl Talk is one of the most honest, insightful reads I've ever read. Like Kerouac's On the Road and others before it, it speaks for an entire generation (post-boomer). The dialog is right-on, the humor subtle and deep, and it's both tragic and hilarious!
