Stuck in Downward Dog | Chantel Guertin

2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

Mara Brennan is about to unravel. Three days after 28th birthday, her boyfriend dumps her, leaving her with nothing but a basement apartment, a futon, and a pile of unpaid bills. On top of that, her job, working as a receptionist at a cosmetic surgery clinic, is a nightmare, her boss is a tyrant, and her friends have gotten ahead of her in the game of life. She realizes it’s time for an identity makeover and devises the OM List—a personal pathway to perfection inspired by her best friends, Olivia and Mitz. Mara hilariously tries and fails at all the things she thinks will make her the sophisticated grown-up she wants to be. Navigating the dueling worlds of yoga and cosmetic surgery, gourmet dinners and Frankenberry cereal, etiquette handbooks and too-helpful loved ones, this is an unforgettable comic debut about how to get unstuck when caught in a rut.

As a yogini, this book is wrong on so many levels. The fact that pose on the cover of the Audible version is Child's pose not Downward Dog should have been my 1st clue. @RealLifeReading #readjanuary

Crinoline_Laphroaig The heroine did find some balance in the end. But that doesn't make up for the number of times she says 'get good at yoga; so I can be better than my friends; & be skinny' is repeated. Plus the whole cosmetic surgury/enhancement angle. 7y

saresmoore Yikes. This makes me want to go spend some time in child's pose. Which, after seeing this cover, is maybe the yoga equivalent of a face palm. 7y

Sometimes I wanted to slap the main character, but overall, I liked her and enjoyed her growth through the book.
