What really makes this book a good read is the way Baggott allows her readers to get into her characters' feelings....She kindly allows one to care about how each character reacts to one another., For Baggott, cosmic irony is always in the details, the absurd gap between self-knowledge and behavioral excess. Baggott's brand of witty psychological observation is dark and corrosive...she has a knack for finding the oxymoronic in any situation., Carol Dawson author of The Mother-in-Law Diaries I couldn't put this book down. Girl Talk's hilarious, relentless truths are well-served by its author's tough lyricism. Baggott trains a stern and tender eye onto our cultural markers, using them to signpost her lively trek toward the revelations of love -- lost, rediscovered, and most satisfying of all, unconditional., Jill McCorkle author of Carolina Moon and Crash Diet Girl Talk is a wonderful story. I was hooked with the very first sentence and yet was never actually sure where the story would lead. What I was always certain of was that I was in capable hands. The subtle twists and turns are remarkable and the characters, especially the mother, are vivid and memorable. This is the work of a very talented writer. It was a pleasure to read., USA TodayWhat really makes this book a good read is the way Baggott allows her readers to get into her characters' feelings....She kindly allows one to care about how each character reacts to one another., The New York Times Book ReviewFor Baggott, cosmic irony is always in the details, the absurd gap between self-knowledge and behavioral excess., And it is Girl Talk-- a breathless novel that manages to be both funny and bleak, poignant and bitchy--that will make Baggott famous., "And it is Girl Talke" a breathless novel that manages to be both funny and bleak, poignant and bitchye"that will make Baggott famous.", And it is Girl Talk- a breathless novel that manages to be both funny and bleak, poignant and bitchy-that will make Baggott famous.

Synopsis
Lissy Jablonski was fifteen during the summer of 1985. That was the summer her father, a soft-spoken gynecologist, up and left her mother for a redheaded bank teller. The same summer Lissy and her mother disappeared from their quiet New Hampshire lives to have an adventure of their own amid a cast of unlikely characters, including a Valium-addicted ex-debutante and a suspected mobster. The summer the reliably comforting "girl talks" with her mother began to reveal startling secrets.Now an almost-thirty-year-old advertising executive in Manhattan, faced with her father's imminent death and newly pregnant by her married ex-lover, an unmoored Lissy finds herself looking back across the years. Contending with her affections for an old flame and his doomed marriage to a Korean stripper named Kitty Hawk, as well as the tangible legacies of that unmentionable summer with her mother, she realizes that she has become more like her mother than she ever could have imagined., Lissy Jablonski was fifteen during the summer of 1985.
