Title: Common
Product review: I have recently dicovered the whimsy and fun of chick lit. However, I found this bit of chick-lit to be very pedestrian and drab. A common girl, newly widowed, who wallows in her pity party. While some of her reflections on her loss are downright beautiful and worthy of a hanky, the premise of this book could have done without the very naive, meandering, and sloppy writing style. I would like to see how this authoress might actually tell this same tale when she's 40. Ripe with sitcom, easy, shallow laughs, the young women portrayed in this book lack any ounce sophistication. While the idea of this piece is intriquing (her husband leaving her monthly notes after his passing that assist her with moving forward in her life without him) and clever, I found the characters to be boring and very common. Doubtful I will read anything by Ahern again even for escapist fun.
