We decided on this "beach book" for book club after a string of really depressing books (FYI, there is some depressing stuff in here anyway!). It wasn't high literature, but it was entertaining and the characters were interesting.

The beginning of the book made me laugh. But it got progressively less funny as the book went on.
I thought the characters were pretty likable. It was chicklit, and it had the requisite perfect ending, but it didn’t make me feel as if I were getting stupider just for reading it.
It was fine.

A very good read, though not as good as Little Earthquakes, I thought. Not too surprising since this is Weiner's first book. Still, interesting characters and a nice, if improbable, plot. Perfect summer reading.

Fantastic!
