Negative Positive
Title: I am sorry I took the time to read this book.
Review: My expectations for this book were high, after hearing Oprah's praise for a book every woman could relate to, about past loves. This novel is sadistic, abusive to both reader and characters, and a total waste of time and energy. There is too much spousal abuse in this country and we don't need to read about it for "entertainment." If you want to read a good romantic story, read "The Notebook" or read "Range of Motion" by Elizabeth Berg. Alice Hoffman has failed miserably on this one, this is not literature, this is trash.
