The novel I'm currently reading, <i>The Other Mothers' Club</i>, is suffering a little bit from that same malady.<br /><br />Sorry you didn't like this one -- I've heard great things about it and will probably still give it a shot, but I appreciate your review tempering my expectations a little! :)Meg @ write meg!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15837479897570974834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568208905301554987.post-82820553090573504862010-08-07T19:10:07.146-07:002010-08-07T19:10:07.146-07:00I stuck it out but was bored at times and skipped ...I stuck it out but was bored at times and skipped chunks of the text. Unfortunate - one of those books where the title may be better than the story it encapsulates.hopechaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149499569424354742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568208905301554987.post-9610595593258532572010-08-07T09:07:46.352-07:002010-08-07T09:07:46.352-07:00This book didn't do anything for me either.

Even Jess kinda bored me and she was supposed to be an interesting character. Oh well. I'd still probably read another book by Allegra Goodman to give her another chance.Kristen @ Daemon's Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163694997230521803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568208905301554987.post-48273213613151033832010-08-06T10:10:20.963-07:002010-08-06T10:10:20.963-07:00I have this one at home as well, but I am not a fa...I have this one at home as well, but I am not a fan of books with lots of minor characters. Sorry it did not work for you, and I am suspecting it might not work for me either.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.com
