PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewSome of her views on matrimony and parenting might strike certain readers as reductive or overly black and white ... But the similarly single will recognize MacNicol’s fears, beliefs and observations as undeniably true ... Despite the occasional flatness of MacNicol’s prose, and some irksome references to her glitzy life, I found myself underlining sentences, and then entire passages, that resonated with me ... For some, this book will read like an anthem to choosing the single, family-free life.
