Book Reviews of Milkrun
Book Review: "Sex in the City" for the young twenty-something generation!
Summary: 5 Stars
There isn't a character or situation in Sarah Mlynowski's novel Milkrun that I couldn't relate to in my personal life. In fact, the book reads like it was torn from the pages of my own diary, probably similar to every other woman dating today. The witty, twenty-something protagonist, Jackie Norris, is on the rebound from her boyfriend, "Jilting Jeremy," who left her on an excursion to Thailand in order to "find himself." Surrounded by her college friends--Natalie, the Boston socialite, and Wendy, her best friend and workaholic investment banker in New York--and her roommate--Sam, whose own relationships leaves her both jealous and nauseous--Jackie discloses her most personal details in Milkrun on her search to find a boyfriend and deal with the rejected feelings left by the previous one. Like an episode of "Sex in the City" or a re-run of "Friends," we tag along on her series of dates with former high-school hunk Jonathan Gradinger, Stripe-boy Damon, and Tim, the Saint and brother of co-worker Julie. Jackie works as an editor at Cupid, publishing home to the romance novels, and in between time spent there avoiding fellow editor and punctuation-obsessed Helen, she attempts to earn the next belt in her Tae Kwon Do class and ventures out on a weekly basis with Natalie and friends to her favorite bar, Orgasm, occasionally running into Andrew, Jeremy's best friend. Then, of course, there's her family and extended family and dealing with the fact she's dating a man with the same name as her father. I see myself in Jackie; every single near college-aged girl has dated and been hurt by a Jeremy; we all try to please but end up dreading dealing with the families; and we all lean on our friends to make it through the tough times. I recommend this book because it makes you feel normal about your own life, smile at your own bad dating experiences and look forward to an ending like the novel itself.
Summary of Milkrun
"Milkrun" -- a novel about drinks, dates and other distractions -- is the fun and compelling story of hyperactive 25-year-old Jackie Norris. Her luck with dating is analogous to riding the bus: intending to take the express, but finding herself on the painfully long local. In "Milkrun," we see Jackie doing the Singles Scene: going to bars, meeting men and making up her own -- hilarious! -- dating rules. Join Jackie on her mission as she deals with life's many problems...and discovers what she really wants.Literary Books
