Review:
I was totally engrossed from start to finish! Love Rehab had some very believable, hilarious scenarios of heartbroken women doing things that I’m sure have been done in reality. I laughed out loud in the middle of the night since I couldn’t put the book down. There were situations that I could relate to and all of the characters were likeable, even Dave. This book is for anyone who has been wronged, dumped, cheated on, or had an addiction. Virtually everyone can relate to the problems of the lovely women of LAA. The concept of very different women living together and helping each other to heal and stay strong was nice.
There were terms in the book that I had never heard before that I found amusing.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good laugh or to know that they are not alone when it comes to needing love, feeling insecure and stalking an ex on social media sites!
