Holly Celeste's review
rating:
I absolutely loved Anna Quindlen's first novel, One True Thing. (Don't judge it from the movie, which was cute but unsurprisingly lacked the depth of the book.) Her next novel, Object Lessons, was not quite as good but still worthwhile reading. It was also a little less autobiographical than the first book. Well, Black and Blue was entirely removed from Quindlen's own life, and it showed. The characters weren't as rich, their actions were less believable and their emotions hollower. She later improved slightly with Blessings, but Black and Blue is a waste of time.
