Title: so lame, I threw it across the room
Product review: I was anxious to read this because I read one of her stories in Redbook magazine. They advertised it as an exceprt from the book, however, that particular story appeared nowhere in the book. This was the first problem. The second problem was the book itself, which was not a novel, but a bunch of short stories. I was completely unaware of this until I got all the way to the ANNOYING MIDDLE CHAPTER, featuring a completely different protagonist. Finally, it dawns on me. So THAT"S the reason she keeps switching tenses! So THAT's the reason she keeps jumping around! So THAT"S the reason I hate this book so much I'm throwing it across the room! I think it was a lame effort to publish an unfinished novel in a hurry. She probably sent the first chap out and got a nibble, then ran out of time and since she couldn't get the chaps to gel, she called them short stories instead. Glad I didn't buy it at Borders.
