Title: I looked for joy, I found obnoxious self-indulgence.
Product review: I read the entire book. I hated it. I kept expecting some explanation of the behaviour of the characters, and all I got were anecdotes. The last chapter was completely anticlimactic. I didn't like the daughter and couldn't have cared less if she got married to the stud or not. And the mother -- was the point just to prove that boozy old ladies were young once, too?
