The title sounded interesting and like nothing I would want to do, but I picked it up anyways. Overall the book was rather sad to me. There were a few laugh out loud moments, but not enough to save the overall feeling of sadness that I got while reading. ( ) This is a hilarious and poignant account of the trials and tribulations of a marriage that should never have been one in the first place. The author treads the emotional mine-scape of relationships, love, and love lost with courage, heart, and bare-bones humor. A great relationship do's and don't do's guide for anyone thinking of tying or untying the knot. Loved the book. As another person who got divorced by 30, I was powerless when I saw this at the library. It was by turns funny and painful to read. Some of the territory Rothchild assays here was quite familiar to me. It's not an unusual story, I suppose, though the fact that she lived in LA and was seriously OCD and obsessed with her weight added a little bit of otherness to the story. I whooshed through it in an evening and enjoyed it for the most part. I picked this book randomly off the library shelf. On the basis of the subtitle, I expected this to be about someone who had deliberately set out to find a starter marriage, perhaps a sham marriage to get wedding gifts or something. But this was more about someone who just kinda went with the flow and found herself married when she really shouldn't have been. It was a quick read and well enough written but somehow just did not grab me. It just seemed like an account of a fairly typical 20s experience, with the marriage and divorce not being as central as the title might imply. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I really enjoy the frankness of this book. Rothchild has an excellent writing style, easy to read and sharp.
A hilarious memoir about the ending of a marriage that should have lasted forever--or at least for five years. It's an age-old story. Girl meets boy. Girl marries boy. Girl decides she is way too young to be stuck in nuptial mediocrity. When Sascha realized that the one person she didn't want at her thirtieth birthday party was her husband, she knew that it was time for the relationship to end. So, like the hordes of others of her generation for whom starter marriages are as common as Louis Vuitton knock-offs and $5 Starbucks lattes, they got divorced. With wit, moxie, and honesty, Sascha spills about the horrible ex-boyfriends, awkward dates, drugs, a near-death experience, and memories of growing up in an unconventional household that led to her short-lived marriage. A story of love, loss, a flat-screen TV named Ruby, and plenty of misguided decisions, How to Get Divorced by 30 is a hysterical look at what exactly "Til death do us part" means today.
