Fiction Fridays: The Journal of Mortifying Moments by Robyn Harding

The Journal of Mortifying Moments by Robyn Harding is the book that all of us have inside of us. We have all had mortifying moments in our dating lives, friendships lives, family lives, walking down the street lives...we all have those funny moments that any of us could put down in written form that could create a pretty damn funny book.
Harding does that, weaving in journal entries written by her main character, the neurotic Kerry. This girl has low self-esteem thanks to too many nights downing icing and waiting for her former live-in boyfriend to contact her for not much more than a booty call. She hates her job, has a strained relationship with her mom, and has the necessary gay guy friend who she would probably love to be with if he was straight but instead has around to meddle constantly in her life.
Kerry is on the fast track to depression until she decides to stop seeing her ex, start volunteering, and start figuring out her next job where she doesn't spend all day avoiding her work. The transformation has some touching moments, but I wish we could have read more of Kerry's diary. Those brief sections were when I felt most connected to the character, and I found myself reminiscing about my own mortifying moments.
A fun, quick read, I will be checking out other Harding books when I want something light and entertaining. I'm thinking about picking up Chronicles of a Midlife Crisis next.
