The Girls

What a joy to read an author who *knows* about women. Having found myself on the floor under the dining room table (with cereal in my hair) more than once in my 49+ years I applaud the author. She spins a tale that is real. How refreshing.

What can I say, this book was surely one of the best and most thrilling, I've ever read. During the first few pages I hadn't got a clou what the hell all this was about, but once I had the point, I couldn't stop readin.

Thrilling, funny and excellently written. If there were mor than 5 stars, I'd give more

All things considered, did these people treat each other the way friends are supposed to, especially 'the girls'? Bottom line: An Excellent Book.

This book provides different points of view on the same man after his death. The reader is able to see that although a womanizer, this man had something to contribute to his relationships with the 4 women featured.

After the reader finally decides that he has a clear picture of who this man was and why he his dead, Ms. Kagan suprises us further
