I remember being bored by both the novel and the movie of Bridges of..., which this obviously is a lesbian parody of. I didn't find this book hilarious, but I did enjoy the skewing and skewering of the "tragic romance" and pseudo-intellectual pretentiousness. Notable for an early example of a man, the farmwife's husband, who lives more of his life online than in reality.
