Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-18 00:00:00 Kenneth Rearick This book chimed with me for a variety of reasons; I was at university during the same period, so many of the experiences, fashions and dilemmas were familiar and nostalgic. I was expecting more problems with the descriptions of philosophy, as I've never studied it. However, there were few ideas that were difficult to grasp,and the third chapter dealing with Nietzche and 'Human, All too human' came startlingly close to my own feelings and experiences when a student. The author could have been describing one period of my own student life. After this I was hooked, and read it avidly. I didn't find the characters of Jason and Rob totally convincing, Jason in particular,but the description of the dilemma of pregnancy and abortion rung true.Daily life as a young woman student in the Seventies was well drawn, and Susannah was sympathetic, if annoyingly vague at times. I couldn't believe she was so casual about contraception, having taken the trouble to go on the Pill! All in all, an enjoyable read.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-01 00:00:00 Kendall Rosenberger Why do all the reviews printed on the front and back cover of this book call it funny? I didn't laugh once. This whole book is about a woman who can't decide things. Every character in this book is unlikeable. Way too much of this book is about the protagonist sleeping. And honestly even the sex scenes half the time I was thinking, "well that sounds like it was written by someone who's never had sex before." No redeeming qualities about this book to be honest
