Title: Welcome to My Planet: Where English Is Sometimes Spoken Author: Shannon Olson type of book: Women's Fiction call number: Fic

This book is strong in character.

Summary:
Shannon Olson (the main character, not the author), is unhappy with her life. She has a job she doesn't like, a love life that needs to be finished and started over again, credit card debt up to her ears and no real direction. So, she moves back home with her parents, applies for grad school and finally breaks off the relationship with her boyfriend. But things keep plodding along pretty much as before

I would NOT recommend this book!

Why not?
I couldn't really get into this book. I felt like the main character (also named Shannon Olson) has a bad case of middle child syndrome and probably has ADD as well. The therapist Shannon was going to didn't seem to help much, or pay attention to her.

I chose this book to read because the title was interesting. I wish I would have skipped it and found something better.
