Title: Great characters, ridiculous plot!
Review: I was very drawn to this book based on the Minnesota setting. I thought this would be a Fannie Flagg type of humorous novel, lots of funny female characters, but with a Midwestern instead of Southern setting. The beginning of the book drew me in. The characters and the dialogue are just wonderful. But the plot! What a mess! Just got more and more unbelievable and bizarre. And several of the big plot twists were completely predictable. Just a real groaner as far as plot goes. So now I would have to say this is more of a Maeve Binchy lame-o novel, not a Fannie Flagg type of quality novel!
