We all hated it, we all hated all the characters (except maybe Jeremy) and mostly ended up talking girl-talk instead of the book. I'll admit - the affair part was prob. the only part of the book that held me captive and I was like "alllright, this is getting juicy!" But, really when it came down to it, it made me angry and upset more than anything and I just didn't enjoy it after that.

Your review was spot on - what a bad ending! Do you think it ended differently, but an editor at some point was like, oh no, make it more spicy and throw in an affair? This earthquake thing is too boring? Ugh. I have read her other novel, American Wife, and liked that a bit more.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067087986650754525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-48217348354316930872013-09-24T20:35:43.033-04:002013-09-24T20:35:43.033-04:00New follower!
