Negative Positive
Title: unrealistic and depressing
Review: Ok, I realize novels aren't necessarily realistic. And perfect-looking marriages do break up unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. But how often does a perfect, gorgeous man willing to take on a divorcee and her two small children show up immediately? Even if it happens, it's not interesting. Even worse is the other sister's dilemma... she wants a mature responsible husband instead of her flighty Peter Pan boyfriend. In the end she gives up and settles for the boyfriend, who has not changed at all. She apparently needs more self-esteem or she would not accept the unacceptable. Does anyone learn or grow in this book? It seems Martha doesn't have to, and Eliza just regresses. A depressing book, which doesn't ring true to real life.
Is the review positive or negative?
