Title: Life at the Speed of Light
Product review: The opening chapters of Good Grief had me laughing to myself as Sophie Stanton, our protagoniste, tried getting through life after her husband's death. Touching and humorous, I held high hopes for the ensuing 200 pages.However, this proved to be a typical chick lit offering--tragedy, followed by meeting various zany characters, culminating in Sophie's life being wrapped up in shiny paper and tied in a tidy bow. Not only does she accomplish everything she never knew she wanted to do, she does it all in one year. Yes, roughly 365 days after her beloved husband's death she has the total 'new life' package.If you want a sticky sweet toss-away, go ahead and buy it. The author's ability to generate chuckles in the opening chapters earned it two stars. Otherwise, I would have had to demote it to one!
