The Guy Not Taken: Stories by Jennifer Weiner

I avoid reading Jennifer Weiner's books because they become too engrossing. The great plots and characters combined with short chapters has me constantly justifying that I can read one more chapter, until I realize I should have gone to sleep an hour ago, or should have started getting ready for work two chapters back. For me, her books are addictive, and she keeps on delivering.

With that said, this book has been sitting on my shelf for months. I finally picked it up yesterday, and am not disappointed. The format is great, doling out little doses of Ms. Weiner's wit. I'm rationing it; one story per work day, two on weekends. So far, I was late to work yesterday but was able to put down the book satisfied. But I've got a beach chair in my car and the book in my purse, so I may end up in South Boston today, giving up on my Jennifer Weiner "diet".
