Secure A Copy Daisy Dooley Does Divorce Originated By Anna Pasternak Ready In Digital Version
Pasternak writes a lively and fun read, Easy to pick up and put down and yet I found myself wanting to know what the ending would be, so read quite large chunks at a time.
I'm sure that many a divorcee will find that they resonate with the main character's dilemma of risking entering further relationships, All the characters add an extra pinch of spice! Daisy Dooley is a little too new age for me, It was a good story line, but I can only stomach so much selfhelp books, I didn't like the way it ended either, It kind of leaves you hanging, wondering if there will be a sequel, It wasn't awful, but I've read better, I didn't even finish this book because it was soooooooo boring! Nu man labai smagiai susiskaitė
Tikrai yra gerų pasakymų, kuriuos verta atsiminti Currently reading.
Good chick book. She has dachshunds so I HAD to read it, haha Makes little to no sense, Oh, and the author hates rich people, Like, REALLY hates them. Very odd. hab ich nach eiin paar seiten weggelegt, die heldin war mir unsymphatisch und hat mich genervt,
jetzt.hab ichs nochmal versucht und das buch an einem tag ausgelesen, allerdings fand ich es an keiner stelle witzig, wie von der daily mail angekündigt, insgesamt wird mir in dieser geschichte eine prise zu viel geheult, an anderen stellen kommt es der realität recht nahe, While I found this book very engaging I also found Daisy's 'victim' mentality very grating at times, I enjoyed the selfhelp tidbits and thought Daisy should have gotten more out of the selfhelp books she immersed herself into, The idea that she would never meet anyone who understood her like Julius was silly and she should have known better, I appreciated her vulnerability and struggle to understand herself better, but she struck me as smart enough to actually learn and grow from her experiences, The end was unsatisfying at many levels, I enjoyed the author's candid way of developing Daisy, Her emotions and reactions made sense to me, I just think a little more maturity and wisdom should have come with all that selfawareness, I read this book as a palate cleanser after a string of grisly murder mysteries, Ironic given the topic of palate cleansers in the boom, It was everything a beach read is supposed to be, The writing was good and the story was fun, A fun, lighthearted read! For Daisy Dooley, the only thing worse than beingand single is beingand divorced, A selfprofessed selfhelp addict, Daisy leaves the marriage she thought would forever rescue her from the angst of will he or won't he call, coping with painful setups from wellmeaning friends, and lonely Saturday nights, only to return to the painfuland painfully funnyworld of dating.
Supported by her two best friends, one commitmentphobic single serial dater and one picture perfect happy wife and mother of two whose marriage sets the standard in happy marriagesat least from the outsideDaisy must find her way back through the awkward mating rituals that accompany relationships with the postdivorcee rebound man, and the passionate twenysomething eager to date a "mature woman," and battle the longing to be with the one true love who eluded her years before.
In the end, Daisy Dooley does date who she deserves, and delivers a lot of laughs and lessons along the way, Couldn't keep my attention Too many men to keep track of, and none of them had believable personas, Daisy, in spite of ALL kinds of machinations to convince us that she is a decent human, is just a homewrecking selfish woman, The people in this story were not complex, they were simply selfabsorbed and reprehensible humans with no redeeming qualities, I read the whole thing and I wish I hadn't wasted my time, It was better than I originally thought, Daisy does seem a bit consumed with herself and her failed marriage that she chose to walk away from, It seems that she is/was on this journey to discovering herself and growing up, But, she keeps making the same stupid mistakes and refuses to take her own advice or the help of her selfhelp books, All and all though, I enjoyed it, The characters did get a little confusing at times, There were many and not well developed, which helped with the confusion, Oh, and I found the chapters to be a bit too long and drawn out, . . Bij vlagen humoristisch, maar te veel van hetzelfde zonder echte ontwikkeling en daarom gewoon langdradig, . . : Cute : beach type of reading
Gründe für das Buch:
tolle Nebencharaktere
mehrere Handlungsstränge
doch überraschendes Ende
Gründe gegen das Buch:
einige nicht nachvollziehbare Handlungen
overall, I like this book some good laughs, thoughs and comments on being divorced and being happy with your single self.
. . This was such a looooong story, I kept reading, convinced it
would get better, It didn't. Типичен чиклит, точно по каноните на жанра.
Дейзи Дули естествено не е красавица, но е секси! Егоистка от класа, заета със себе си и черпеща житейски мъдрости от книгите за самопомощ, но антипатично безчувствена към собствените си родители. Те я обичат, а тя се срамува от тях и отрича правото им да си живеят живота както го разбират. Не само те, но и всички останали трябва да са на нейно разположение и да поемат съответната част от вината за неудовлетворението от живота, който води. Книгата може да се определи като каталог на неуспешните забежки на героинята в търсене на идеалния мъж.
Всичко това би било непоносимо тъпо, ако не беше добрият, приятно развлекателен стил на Анна Пастернак. Става за четене в транспорта.
This is one of those Brit Chit Lit books that are great fun to read, but mildly forgettable afterwards, It would be a good beach read, Ако я бях прочела , когато е била написана и издадена, т. е. преди окологодини, сигурно щеше да ми хареса повече. Но от позицията на времето и на моя опит, ми е смехотворна.
Нагодини още да чакаш любовта на живота ти и да се лашкаш от мъж на мъж, трябва наистина да имаш много високо самочувствие. Забелязах това за англичанките, от повечето книги в този жанр. И това не е лошо, но не е много реално.
Може би повечето жени , търсят цял живот голямата любов и одобрението на мъжете. Непременно свиване на гнездо и раждане на деца на всяка цена.
И никой не разбира , че поважното е да се чувстваш свободен, в хармония със себе си, да правиш нещата, така както наистина харесваш и които харесваш. И да не си непременно сянка на някой. Е, ако имаш късмет да бъдеш с някой който те разбира и харесва ще бъде добре. Но не е необходимо това да занимава цялото ти внимание.
Освен всичко това, книгата е доста хаотична и обстоятелствена. Пълна с цитати от книги за самопомощ.
И някои прозрения , които харесах и записвам :
"За да се влюбим в някого, е нужна само минута. За да харесаме някого, е нужен един час. За да го обикнем, ни трябва един ден, но за да го забравим цял живот. "
"Бракът не е отговор, той е загадка. "
"Найдългото пътуване, което всеки прави в живота си, е да слезе от главата в сърцето си. "
"Самотата,подобно на страха, е гранична емоция. Трябва да преминеш през нея, за да я победиш.
