Sigh. The summary, the cover, the title, all made me think I was in for a funny tale of a D-List actress who finds herself falling in love with one of her online admirers. The words "comic masterpiece" are used in the summary.

Alas, I found this tale darkly tragic, and super sad. Perhaps if I wasn't set up for a "comic masterpiece" I would have liked it better, maybe. I'm not sure.

The main character, named Easy, spends the majority of the book reflecting on the terrible turns that led her to be a "home-wrecking whore" knocked up with twins by a man she met online who is still married and already has two children. I didn't ever really feel like this dude was worth Easy's trouble, because as a reader I wasn't given much time or many reasons to care about him or their relationship. I found Easy very interesting and found the story of her two dads compelling (no spoilers here), but again it wasn't really comedic. It was just sad. Also, the ending just fell completely flat for me.

I think this book's marketing may need some tweaking prior to it's publication date in October of 2015. I think there are readers who will love this book, I just was not one of them.

Thanks to a fellow co-worker for sending the ARC on to me!
