false <![CDATA[All We Ever Wanted Was Everything]]> 2134009 8 <p>When Paul Miller&#8217;s pharmaceutical company goes public, making his family IPO millionaires, his wife, Janice, is sure this is the windfall she&#8217;s been waiting years for &#8212; until she learns, via messengered letter, that her husband is divorcing her (for her tennis partner!) and cutting her out of the new fortune. Meanwhile, four hundred miles south in Los Angeles, the Millers' older daughter, Margaret, has been dumped by her newly famous actor boyfriend and left in the lurch by an investor who promised to revive her fledgling postfeminist magazine. Sliding toward bankruptcy and dogged by creditors, she flees for home where her younger sister Lizzie, 14, is struggling with problems of her own. Formerly chubby, Lizzie has been enjoying her newfound popularity until some bathroom graffiti alerts her to the fact that she&#8217;s become the school slut.<br><br>The three Miller women retreat behind the walls of their Georgian colonial to wage battle with divorce lawyers, debt collectors, drug-dealing pool boys, mean girls, country-club ladies, their own demons, and one another, and in the process they become achingly sympathetic characters we can&#8217;t help but root for&#8212;even as the world they live in epitomizes everything wrong with the American Dream. Exhilarating, addictive, and superbly accomplished, <i>All We Ever Wanted Was Everything</i> is an original, utterly modern addition to the genre of suburban fiction.</p> 2139491 27 5 2008 All We Ever Wanted Was Everything total:940|5:93|4:273|3:381|2:159|1:34| 940 3052 1887 256 4 5 false false Wed Sep 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Dec 25 23:26:24 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 23:44:48 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Jul 01 21:45:54 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 21:56:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Mar 17 20:55:52 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 17 20:58:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Sep 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 18:34:27 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 21:23:22 -0700 2009 Si ibu stress karena diajak cerai lantas berusaha melarikan diri dengan jalan ngobat.
