Moments of genuine pain, joy or self-interrogation combine with dark humor to make a novel that manages to remain engaging even as Maggie slides to an inevitable rock bottom.

The friendships are good and there are some scenes that are entertaining as Maggie employs a multitude of diversionary tactics. Literally a selfish woman can’t see past her nose for 300+ pages but apparently it’s witty and hilarious? This may have been more appealing if Maggie wasn’t kind of a self-indulgent, immature and selfish person.
