Colette Moody

Very funny book! Loved the characters. So funny. Colette joined us on Cocktail Hour episode 13 to talk about her work. It is probably my favorite show. If you like her work, you won't want to miss it.

***reread 7/8/13 and still love it. Just hilarious.

* 8/2/15 - I needed some laughs after reading a fantastic but moderately depressing read so I read all three of Ms. Moody's books in three days. Loved them all just as much, if not more, than the earlier reads.

*6/12/20 - I love a book that leaves me with a huge smile on my face when it ends.… (mais)

I do not normally reread books. And the last time I read this specific one, the one time before, was in February of 2014. 2 years seems enough time, eh? heh. I believe this is the first time I've reread a lesbian fiction book.

There are many reasons why I tend to not reread - the easiest to mention is the simple fact that I kind of expect to be 'let down' form any prior experience with a book. I mean, I've read it once before, there will not be any surprises. So . . ..

In this specific instance, the reread just reinforced how impressive this book is. And how much I liked this funny humorous book. Rereading enhanced instead of subtracted from the experience.

And, looking over my prior review, I do not agree with what I'd previously written - for the most part. I mean, I mentioned wincing while reading. Whatever was causing that in the past, didn't smack me in the face this time. The only real thing that is vaguely mind-boggling from the prior read and this read here is the mere idea of a lesbian working for a Republican. But, to a certain extent, I had a better 'handle' on it this time.

Oh, and as some might have noticed, this book pushed me to absurdity - in that I've finally created the shelf I'd threatened in the past - the six star shelf. And placed this book on it. It's a quite good book.

re: ages. I know one, the Democrat, is 34. I had thought the other was in her twenties, but then there were some comments from her about how young someone was acting (a twenty year-old she bumped into at a bar). So both might actually be in their 30s. Then again Bijal Rao (rhymes with cow) is on her first paid political job assignment, so maybe my 20s impression is correct.
