Title: Phony baloney!
Review: I have loved all of Elizabeth Berg's books until this one. Usually her main characters are very realistic - including their faults, their disappointments, their shortcomings. However, the characters in this book are so phony that it is simply impossible to relate to them at all.Guess what? No one's husband is as perfect as this one. Such a human being simply does not exist. No one's marriage is as flawless as this one. Relationships all have ups and downs. No one's friends are as unchanging as these. After years and years of no contacts they just pick up right where they left all - ALL of them??? I don't think so. No one's life is as seemless as this one. A brownstone in Beacon Hill, romantic vacations, early retirements. Give me a break.It was all just too good to be true. It's downright corny.
