- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Was irresponsible today, and only read to finish a book I began last night. By its title and description I thought this was typical chick lit, but in the reading you find it surpasses the genre all together. For the sake of order I leave it classed on the shelf though. Sandy has been with the same boy since senior prom, and at 26 she thinks her life is going to follow her fairy tale dreams, but then she discovers her fiancee is engaged to two other women, and he's more than a bit of a putz.The beautiful story of her friendship with Paul, a college friend who's lifestyle of trading "boyfriends" or tricks as he called them, every night, and the avalanche of drugs through the years led to Paul's diagnosis of AIDs. It was haunting for me, especially near the end, where is my fashion, I bawled.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It is the late '80s, and Sandy Berlin is living in NYC, works at a magazine, has a gay best friend Paul who she has the best time with, and is engaged to Bucky, her high school sweetheart, and after marriage will commence to live the lifestyle of the rich and WASP that she has always dreamed of. Then she is ambushed at a party by a strange woman and learns of something that completely changes her life. Flawed but loveable heroine with lots of well-written minor characters. Quick but good read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A bit sturdier than your usual chick lit, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of substance contained in 'Me Times Three'. In addition to the frothy "jilted by her fiance; now what?" plotline, the main character also has to deal with the failing health of her best friend, due to AIDS. It is that plotline which really makes this book something worth reading.
