Title: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: After being captivated by Maxted's writing the first for the first 1/4th of the book, I had to force myself to finish reading the rest of it and was ultimately disappointed. The book's cover misled me to believe that the book was about the main character's reaction to her best friend's new marriage -- an identifiable situation for many readers, right? I would feel sorry for anyone who has a friendship as lacking in communication as the one portrayed in this book. In any case, the book wasn't really about the friendship. It was about ... well, I'm still not sure if there was any real focus to the book other than the tedious semi-recovery and self-realization of a really pathetic and unlikeable main character in need of some serious therapy. I am sorry to have wasted my time and money on this one.
