Favorite Quotes:
“Cooking was not my strong suit. I mostly used my kitchen to house the coffee.”“I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to cry more or smile more. So I did both.”
“I promise to love you with an open, honest heart because you belong with me, and I belong with you, and nothing will ever change that.”
“It was one of those horrific, but amazing moments when you want to look away but can’t. How was her vagina ever gonna go back to normal size after that? Wait? How was my vagina ever gonna go back to normal size when I had a baby?”
My Review:
I believe I would enjoy hanging with Amanda Aksel, I like and admire her clever wit and sneaky sense of humor. She has a skill for making fun of her characters while also being insightful and partly serious. I relished reading The Commitment Test even more than her first novel of The Man Test, although both are smart, well written, and highly entertaining. I found the characters to be smart, endearing, likable, and interesting, and I wanted the fairy tale to come true for them all, although I had a few anxious moments fearing it wouldn’t. Ms. Aksel kept me occupied and amused all day, as I could not seem to put my kindle down, even when I should have.
