Negative Positive
Title: just okay
Review: Although I adore this author, I prefer her much more as Sophie Kinsella. When she writes as Madeleine Wickham she lacks the wit and humor that won me over. The characters in this book are not particularly likable and share very different values than I do. Subjects like infidelity, teenage sex and teenage substance abuse are taken very lightly and almost passed off as nothing. The ending seemed a little too picture perfect for the "realness" and meatiness of the rest of the book and basically left me no better and no worse for having read the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
