Title: Someone tell me why this story got good reviews?
Product review: I am an avid reader! When I saw this book at a used bookstore I became excited! I had heard wonderful things about the author and I was looking forward to reading this story. What a sad, disappointing, slow, and overall awful book! The main character is so shallow and flat it was hard to get through the pages. I don't know a mother who would let her 30-year-old daughter come home and waste her life away eating. Oh and well I'm am on the subject of eating, why did the author put so much into what the characters ate. She even described in great detail the kinds of cereal. Also there was a lot of talk about the pets. I didn't care about a dog that died or a cat that decided to run the household. I was saddened by how lonely Maude was at first until I realized that it was her own fault. At least Stella had a bridge club to attend. I will not be finishing this series, and I am not sure if I ever want to pick up another story by this author again.
