Title: The Other Book I Should Have Bought
Review: I bought this book because it was suggested in the New York Times along with other contemporary novels, by and about women. One of the other books, The Wife by Meg Wolitzer was among the prized company it was in. Therefore, I thought this book would be of that ilk, written in the same high standard but boy was I mistaken.The plot was ridiculous, the reading level was Junior High and there was no character development at all. I wasn't even cheering for Kennedy because I didn't respect her and didn't see what this great chemistry between her and Declan was all about. This book was a total waste of my time in every sense. You are suppose to come away from a book learning something. For me, it passed the time on a long train ride, that's about it. Gravely disappointing.
