I liked Charlotte but I had a hard time believing she was 42. She behaved like someone much younger. The observations on writing were some of the best things about the novel. The transformation at the end made sense in some ways, but in others felt too contrived. Still, it was fun to read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Forty-two years and five books into her life, Charlotte Dearborn abandons her noncommittal boyfriend and her sinking-ship writing career, and becomes an elementary school teacher. Sure, she's giving up her dream of being a famous novelist, but in exchange she'll find a stable income, job satisfaction, and maybe even love. At least that's how it'd work if she were a character in one of her novels. In real life, she's busy coping with twenty yelling first-graders, a teacher's lounge full of nasty coworkers, and a series of romantic misadventures that fall far, far short of the real thing. Charlotte's struggle to navigate the waters of a new career, a new single life, and the loss of her identity as a writer make Second Draft of My Life a funny, compulsively readable gem. From an author The Boston Globe applauded as "very, very good on the business of falling in and out of love," it is part romantic comedy, part manual for living, and wholly triumphant.

The author tried to be crafty by tying writing tips into the book, but this book was so shitty that it was the literary equivalent of a B movie, except it sucked more and wasn't campy and the author kept inserting stuff into it to try to legitimize the whole damn thing and OH MY GOD, it's terrible.
Also, this book was written in 2002 about a woman in her early 40's. Want to know what she's wearing? Even if you don't, you totally get to... the descriptions of her clothing are only outnumbered by the scenes of her being a total know-it-all bitch.
"The first day of school, I wore my red and yellow Hawaiian shirt and a pair of white painter's pants with my white high top sneakers."
Oh did you? Did you also put your hair in a freaking side ponytail with a banana clip? I swear Claudia from The Babysitter's Club wore this exact same outfit when she went for a soda with the dreamiest boy in Stony Brook. In 1988.
Holy shit. ( )
