Summary: Ben Beats Bridget By A Long Shot
Review: I stumbled across Plan B at Borders and picked it up, expecting to read about yet another woman who's 29 going on 30 and living the single life in New York City. Well the only resemblance this book has to the slew of others out there about 20somethings and 30somethings is that Ben is a writer (most of the woman in the other books work in publishing). Thankfully this book is so much more substantial. I loved reading about Ben, Chuck, Lindsey and Allison. All of the characters and their emotions were so real as were the settings. Tropper has a wonderful ability to convey atmosphere. Haven't finished yet... I'm enjoying it so much I don't want it to end.

Summary: Quit Whining!
Review: I picked up the paperback version of this book based on the sentiment conveyed on the front cover. Since I had this same sentiment about turning 30, I decided to give this book a read and see if I could relate to anything else in it.I found that the five friends in this book had actually accomplished quite a bit by their 30th birthdays and shouldn't be complaining. However, we are our own worst critics and at some time during our 30's, we start looking back instead of forward. This book taught me to look forward and try to improve my current situation rather than looking back and whining about how good the good old days were. This book is a predictable no-brainer, but it was still fun to read. The references to the 80's were also fun and brought back some memories for me.
