Title: A disappointment
Review: I loved the first chapter where young insecure Elizabeth takes such delight in loving and being loved. Then it turned out that Amy Bloom didn't mean it at all. Instead of love inventing anyone, the characters just let love ruin their lives for no good reason at all. Charming Elizabeth has one sordid affair and one high-school romance that doesn't quite work out and then she just gives up completely and sinks in to a slough of despond so boring the novel won't even talk about it. This book turned out to be a disappointment and a cop-out.
