This book is a BlogHer Bookclub book but I did not officially read it for the BHBC. Just a bit of a coincidence, really.
I can’t decide if I want to rant about The Underside of Joy or rave about The Underside of Joy. Even the ranting is rally a kind of raving – because I wouldn’t be ranting about the book itself or about the author’s writing or anything else. I want to rant about these characters – particularly about men like Joe. And while ranting, I’ll of course be nice enough to point out that Joe (and men like him) are in part, products of their parents and their childhood who in turn are products of their own childhood etc.
It’s a vicious cycle. That rant would turn into men, like Joe, who are even worse than Joe and I don’t even want to go there, do I?
Nope, I don’t.
So let me just say – great book, quick read, not quite the tearjerker I expected but emotional just the same. And – it ended well.
Hmmm…now here’s a book I should read. But I’m pretty familiar with the underside of Joy…and honestly, it’s NOTHING to write a book about. Hee, hee…~Joy
