Kinda fun and kinda funny but I didn't really get it. From the blurb: "Forty-five-year-old Frances Fitzgibbons has gone from sweet-tempered loan officer to insatiable force of nature almost overnight". And she does. This was tongue in cheek or a parody of something, but a New York Review Classic? Huh? I am missing something....
