Title: Disappointing!
Review: I was really disappointed by this book. The main character Joy is a fairly sympathetic (albeit contrary) character, but you can't help but think that she's stupid to do what she does at the end. I don't want to give the ending away for those who haven't read it, though. Also, it seemed as though this book tried too hard to be clever and insightful. It fails, in my mind, because the author simply doesn't succeed in making me care very much about Joy's and Henry's views on marriage as an institution. If you like this type of genre, there are much better books out there. This one left me looking for the next chapter for a more satisfying ending - there wasn't one.
