Title: I thought it was great!
Review: I thought this book was great! From the first chapter, this woman had me. I am a bit surprised the previous reviews were not better, but when I checked more thoroughly I realized that Jennifer Weiner usually writes about younger women. I am a 57 yr. old woman and this author has hit the nail on the head in this book. I can't begin to tell you how many marriages fall apart when couples age into their 50's and it happens much like the author describes. There are affairs, worries about children that never end and life changing events that affect entire families. Few "chick lit" books are written for older middle aged women, so this was a real treat. I suspect many of these readers will come around as they age. And what a talent this writer has that she can go from writing about young motherhood to older women and their lives falling apart. Good for her! This is the first book I've read that Jennifer Weiner has written, but I will definitely be hunting down more!
Is the review positive or negative?
