What would you do, if you were going to break out and away? Go AWOL from Weight Watchers and spend an entire day eating every single thing you want–and then some? Start a dating service for people over fifty to reclaim the razzle-dazzle in your life–or your marriage? Seek comfort in the face of aging, look for love in the midst of loss, find friendship in the most surprising of places? Imagine that the people in these wonderful stories–who do all of these things and more–are asking you: What would you do, if nobody was looking? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - HeartfeltAn amazing book. At times, Berg has a way of making you wonder if this is a first-person memoir - she's that good. This book is a collection of stories, suitable for all women, but probably more in the genre of those moving into their later years (grown children, grandchildren, etc.). I still enjoyed it, though, and can see my mom REALLY enjoying it. Heartfelt, real, sometimes sad, often funny, honest (sometimes to the point of random shock value - a couple of sexual references which were rather ... Read More Rating:  - Not too plausible. I am a huge Elizabeth Berg fan, having read everything she's written. I don't typically care for short stories, but overall this was one of the better collections of shorter pieces by any author that I've read. That being said, there's something disingenuous about a strikingly beautiful woman writing about the struggles of women trying to lose weight. I've met Berg in person, and she's drop-dead gorgeous. Perhaps if I didn't know that, I'd be better able to accept her writing about ... Read More Rating:  - edible artThese small stories are good enough to eat! Each one is crafted with memory, empathy, love, and a wry appreciation for the realities of life. "Rain," the story of a friendship between a married woman and a single male friend, captures years of feeling, expressed and unexpressed, in a short story. Delicious! Rating: - Loved this book!I'm mom to twin 18-month-olds so don't have much time -- i.e. short stories are perfect. And these stories ARE perfect. Have recommended to all my friends. Rating: - like a good box of chocolatesI am not generally a fan of short stories, but this book was a total delight. Berg has a a great eye for detail, a nice sense of humor, and a good philosophical perspective. I found myself caring about all her characters and finishing the book with a renewed appreciation of the beauty of everyday life and the human condition.
