Title: Not funny
Product review: This book was chosen by our book club for our most recent meeting. I knew I was in trouble after reading the first chapter. The writing was amateurish, annoying (she must have used the phrase, "my mother's drug store perfume" about 7 or 8 times) and trite. The words, "darkly funny" were used to descibe this novel and it is neither. .... She seemed to be trying so very hard to be clever, but it just didn't work. We were planning to hear her speak at our local library and unanimously agreed to cancel the evening.
