Summary: Problems with the book's "anatomy"
Review: Girl Anatomy is a modern story about a hopeless romantic young woman seeking love in Los Angeles. Having heard about her best friend's pending nuptials, Lilly begins to analyze her past relationships. Despite some witty moments, Girl Anatomy is one of the sloppiest novels I have ever read. I couldn't determine whether the narration was present or past tense -- it goes back and forth. Also, I had a difficult time liking a twenty-four-year-old heroine who addresses men as "boys." I sometimes wondered if the novel was about a teenager disguised as an adult. Girl Anatomy has various elements of chick lit: the relationships, parties and witty dialogue between the characters. And the story itself is rather sweet. However, I wish the writing had been more coherent.

Summary: A read that is sure to please
Review: Girl Anatomy is a wonderful quick read about the modern trials and tribulations that come with the sport known as dating. Ms. Bloom captures the warmth of victory and the heartbreak of defeat in the dating game with a natural wit and more than a dash of sass. Its hard not to laugh out loud with Lily and harder yet to put this book down.

Summary: a good read
Review: Girl Anatomy was a pretty good book. It reminds me of a Sexy and the City-type novel written for singles in Los Angeles. I identified with Lily's angst and how she was often involved in funny, comedic dating situations. I recommend it, if you're into this genre of book.

Summary: I liked this book
Review: Girl Anatomy was just what i needed. A fun read that made me laugh and smile. With so much craziness around, what with the holidays etc, it was nice to escape a bit. Nothing better than a hot bath and some funny, charming, recognizable fiction. Anyone looking for a terrific first novel should check out this book.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: I purchased this book hoping it would be something in the vein of Sex and the City - a light, witty, fun and quick read. As it turns out, this book is so poorly written that it is nearly impossible to get through. Bloom uses a gimmicky alter-ego device wherein, using italicized text, she describes her own ambivalence (very thinly disguised as the Lilly's ambivalence) about pretty much everything she says and does. These sections of Lilly's internal dialogue read like notes passed between two idiotic junior high school girls in an algebra class that is way over their heads. They are distracting from any plot development, although now that I think about it, there is little discernible plot anyway. Ever been to a party where you met someone who gave you directions to another, later party, which you scribbled on a cocktail napkin? Those directions had more plot than this book. Frankly, I am amazed that this was published. Does Rebecca Bloom know someone with pull at William Morrow? I send my apologies to the author, because her own sweetness and insecurity comes through in the book, plus I feel that in about ten years she may very well grow as a writer and have the ability to produce some decent fiction. This ain't it.

Summary: Clunky and sad.
Review: I was hoping for an escapist Bridget Jones-type read, but what I got was an embarrassment to the author and her publishers (I wonder, as other reviewers here do, how this book even got published in the first place). Clumsy prose, totally unbelievable dialogue, a narcissistic and unlikeable heroine, confusing plotline--I could go on and on but I would only be reiterating the other negative reviews. I got through it only because my initial disgust turned to a kind of morbid fascination--how much worse could this book get? There are moments of humor, but they get lost in the self-indulgent mess. Yuck.

Summary: Who DOESN'T relate???
Review: Reading this book was like reading my journal. I couldn't believe how many similarities there were between myself and the heroine, Lilly! The concept of having these dual personalities that have ongoing disputes inside your head about the decisions you make and the way your life should be lead, rang SO true with me! Who doesn't have that adventurous spirit inside you that so often is squelshed by that calm, rational voice of reason? This book is a delightful read. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Judy Bloom of the 21st Century
Review: Rebecca is such a gifted writer that made me laugh through the entire book. It reminded me of when I first read a Judy Bloom book. I am sending copies to all my best friends across the country. Its a must read!...
