Title: Like having to read a novel version of the sitcom "Alice"
Product review: I haven't read the other 300 reviews in here, but I found this book very hard to get through. Wells wants her adult Sidda to be screwed up, but she can't seem to escape the romance novel convention that says heroines have to be glamorously screwed-up, i.e. confused despite fabulous careers and dark, handsome, beautifully one-dimensional boyfriends. I was quickly bored with Sidda's problems.I hate Southern novels that are infused with a yee haw sensibility that feels close to Petticoat Junction than Faulkner, and this book is rife with moments of teeth-clenching cutsie-pie.Not my cup of molasses.
