Title: Not worth the time
Review: I have read and loved two of Elizabeth Berg's novels - Open House and Say When. Our book club chose The Art of Mending a few years ago and I was so excited to start another one of hers. Big disappointment! I picked up this one just last week thinking I'd give her another chance - and again I was sorry! It was awful! I couldn't get into any of this girl's motivations (or non-motivations as it turns out, there isn't much she really wants to do except fantasize about having the perfect marriage and kids). The dialogue, which is usually Berg's strong point, was stilted and repetitive. Not at all believable in pretty much every way - especially the part about her own family. DO NOT BOTHER!
