Title: Just awful
Review: I read this for a book club and it was torture trying to get through it. I disliked everything about this book. The characters were shallow and boring and I didn't care about them at all. Despite being Californians, all of them spoke in a faux-British-lite voice that made it impossible to separate them from each other. The author tosses in numerous vulgarities when describing bodily functions of humans and animals (maybe she thinks this makes her novel "hip" or "cool"- I don't know). Since the book is about a bunch of women, of course, there has to be the obligatory sexual trauma thrown in. As I was reading I couldn't help envying the fact that the characters were reading artistic works of literature in their book club while I am stuck reading this stupid, witless, pointless waste of time in mine. Don't bother with this book- read Jane Austen instead.
