"The Suburban Outlaw" book review

I recently reviewed a book called "The Suburban Outlaw" by Pam Sherman. It is a compilation of short stories filled with realizations, openness, feelings and just outright humor at times. I was a little leary at first about the whole thing, but once I started it, I just couldn't put it down.

While you are reading, you live vicariously through Pam's daily challenges and dilemmas while sharing the feelings that she has at the time of the event. She has the ability to be able to make you feel that each story is relevant to you as she ventures from New York to a new home out of her comfort zone that has a "picket fence" and snow. You are shown how her life changes in a flash with friends she meets as well as the new physical changes that are as simple as making sure she can reach her hairstylist because they are the only one capable of that perfect haircut.

I loved how I was drawn to each and every story. I laughed out loud and may have even shed a tear or two in a story of a friend whom she held dear until the end. The book is enlightening and warm and filled with quick wit and charm. I recommend it to anyone woman who may feel her life has been completely uprooted and she now feels out of place in her new community.
