im sorry to say this, but i really hated it! :-( we usually agree on the books that we like, but i really didn't like this book. it was too much about how horrible people are in hollywood, and sadly she was kinda becoming shallow as well... i didn't know there was a sequel, but i dont think i'm even going to try it.
but i do usually pick books off of your read list so we do have alot of the same tastes! :-)

It was not one of my favorites of Elizabeth Berg. I found myself getting mad at the wife for being so indecisive and couldn't relate to how she was feeling. I love her writing style, but this book just wasn't for me... Have you read her other books?
