Started this one today

So far, I really like the story. It's set in the 1930s in New York City, and paints a picture of life in those days. I like the way they talk about women from the midwest coming to New York, and that they could fit in anywhere because there was no class distinction like there was in the east coast.

Done!!

Well, I think it's worth more than 1 star, I gave it 2 stars.

I thought it was predictable, and the characters (view spoiler)[ were kind of whiny and emotionally not there (hide spoiler)]

70% (right after the wedding)

Sarah - (view spoiler)[I don't blame Sarah for leaving and being extremely mad at Laurie (hide spoiler)]
Laurie (view spoiler)[ told you so! I hope that she actually gives her husband Oscar a chance and really leave Jack behind (hide spoiler)]
Jack (view spoiler)[I'm glad he's moved and appears to be dating, but why is he so attached to Laurie (hide spoiler)]

50% in

I knew it would get messy

Jack & Laurie (view spoiler)[ them kissing was inevitable, and I'm glad they both felt remorse after doing so (hide spoiler)]
Jack & Sarah (view spoiler)[ just break up already!! (hide spoiler)]
Laurie (view spoiler)[ I'm glad she's going off by herself to try and get some distance from this and break up this ugly triangle (hide spoiler)]
