I didn't go into this book with great expectations - and therefore I wasn't all that surprised when it failed to live up to Traveling Mercies, Bird by Bird, Operating Instructions, etc.
I wasn't surprised by the characters in this book - there's always a group of weepy women from Marin County, California, someone who attends a black presbyterian church, someone who plays tennis, someone with unruly hair, and there will be someone with a drinking problem. We've heard this story before....but I think I like it better when it's told first person rather than phrased as third person fiction.
