It's uncanny! Within six months of breaking up with her, Peg Silver's ex-lovers always meet and marry the women of their dreams. Even worse than being the eternal bridesmaid, she's the last girlfriend, the one who awakens in a guy theknowledge of what he's always wanted in a relationship ... and it's never with Peg. Obviously, a major lifestyle change is seriously called for, which is why the distraught interior landscape designer says good-bye to Manhattan and late-night lattes with pal Nina, and hello to a farmhouse on ten acres in tiny, backwater Manshire, Vermont, hoping to meet the ultimate, all-organic country man (without too much facial hair) to keep her warm in those frosty New England winters. Instead, Peg finds herself at Inward Bound -- a proactive adult-education retreat for the hapless and hopelessly lovelorn -- to try to lift her dreaded "girlfriend curse." A steamy (and expressly forbidden) dalliance with gorgeous woman-eater Ray probably isn't going to help cure her. But some romantic insight could arise from her attraction to Linus, Inward Bound's sexy, scruffy, smart and still-single founder. Perhaps there is a secret to be unearthed in the crunchy Green Mountains, one that will magically transform Peg Silver from the Perpetual Also Ran to the Big Winner in love.… (más)

Sassy and funny combo of chick-lit, fish-out-of-water tale, and a sendup of touchy-feely "retreat" experiences.

When a dyed-in-the-wool Manhattanite decides to change her dating field by pulling up stakes and buying an old Vermont farmhouse, her plans get derailed by an invasion of mice. Then, with perfect logic, she follows the fellow she met on the train to a New Age retreat where he hoped to turn his lousy romantic track record around. Things develop from there.

There's a fair amount of sex talk but little action, which is a nice twist on the genre's formulaic hot-monkey-love episodes. ( )

Peg's exes seem to settle down immediately after dating her. She decides to escape NYC for rural Vermont, but finds her new home infested with mice (ewww), so enrolls in a month-long relationship workshop the cute guy on the train was telling her about. Inward Bound is filled with psychobabble and quirky characters, and makes for a fun read. ( )

This is a pretty good light read that I'd recommend for a day by the pool. I'm sure some people don't read as fast as I do, but it's really just not that big of a book. ( )

very sarcatic. ( )

A much better work by Valerie Frankel. Light, fun, funny, a New York girl moves to Vermont after realising that all her ex-boyfriends have gotten married shortly after their breakup. She enters a relationship help clinic with the goal of snagging a hot man there. Instead, she realises that she does need the help. It's very insightful in things people need to change in order to be happy with their relationship. And it's also a very fun read. ( )
