3 out of 5
I chose to read this book because it is one of the 100 Great
American Reads. It reminded me of the TV series Sex and the City (1998-2004) and the movie Singles (1992). It takes place in San Francisco and follows several
people that live in the same apartment complex. All the chapters were about 3
pages long (love, love, love) with lots of humor. Being primarily about a gay
community, I am sure there was more humor than I picked up on. Nonetheless, it
was funny and an entertaining read. I loved the format of the book, which
flipped back and forth between the characters and how the characters intercept
each other. However, I thought some characters and their story line were
boring, hence the 3 star rating.
