She's the same Gilbert, yes, but wrote Stern Men before EPL. I adore EPL (I like to think I read it before it became a sensation) but I think liking it depends on who you are and when in your life you read it. I really needed a new perspective on how to live when I serendipitously picked it up in an airport, and I loved that she's down to earth and honest about the fact that trying to live better (emotionally etc) is irritating as hell :D

But, regardless, Stern Men is nothing like EPL. In fact it really impressed me that there was *nothing* of her EPL voice in Stern Men at all.
