Negative Positive
Title: Ehh....
Review: This book annoyed me, and the characters grated on my nerves by the end, but it was entertaining, I suppose, since I did ultimately finish reading it. In general, books centered around a bitter, grieving person are not really as engaging as this one's description made itself out to be. Also, it seemed very drenched in New York... and I felt outside of its targeted audience, simply because I have never lived there. It felt a bit like hovering on the outside of this clique, and never really connecting with it, which was not something I expected to feel about the setting. And the "precocious" 5-year old was UTTERLY UNBELIEVABLE. It wasn't quite girlie enough to qualify as Chick Lit, and, frankly, not good enough to qualify as Literary Fiction. Still, it was certainly a fast read, which is a definite plus!
