Title: Disappointed Jennifer Weiner fan
Review: I usually enjoy Jennifer Weiner's books but was disappointed by Fly Away Home. I don't want to give away spoilers but many of the story lines were very predictable and even a little dull. I didn't connect, or really care about, any of the characters. I was especially frustrated of the treatment of Lizzie, the just-out-of rehab addict. Her family drinks around her? And hires her as a nanny of her 6 year old nephew? And I'm no prude but it seems a little irresponsible of the characters to sleep around with no concerns of getting pregnant or STD's. Also Jennifer Weiner has one crazy/irresponsible stereotyped sister and of course the other is a perfectionist/good student stereotyped sister, just like in "In Her Shoes". In real life we are not all one or the other!I wouldn't waste your time on this book.
