Spencer sacrifices character development to focus on hacky jokes and the upstairs/downstairs nature of the upper west and east sides of manhattan. But it ALSO tells the story of a comedian working towards a pitch to a major network. But it ALSO tells the story of a woman whose marriage falls apart. But it ALSO tells the story of a recovering bulemic. Every chapter includes at least one graphic sex scene, completely off-tone from the rest of the book. It's her first novel, which is clear by how all-over-the-place she is.

This was my introduction to Gail Tsukiyama (I have since read almost all of her novels). My ex-boss, Janice, loaned me this book. My first thought when I finished it, with tears in my eyes, was "I don't want this book to end so soon!" Tsukiyama's language is so beautiful, and I fell in love with every character in this novel.
