Chick lit is like eating Hostess Cupcakes. There really is no reason to do it but, yet, you really really want to. They go down quick, easy, sugary and then you wonder: what did I just do? I watched the movie "In Her Shoes" in the fall with 6 of my closest female friends. It is chick flik yet it has some brains to it. Good in Bed was addicting making me wonder what it is aobut these books and like "In Her Shoes" it had fleshed out characters even if I wanted to protest with so much of it. I joked that reading this type of book was negating brain cells but there is something so enjoyable about it. Like television. I won't feel bad about reading this. I will admit that I hid the cover each and every time I took it out of my bag on the subway and picked up Joan Didion's latest book which I am going to start tonight so as to look like I wasn't the typical "chick."
