In reply to Madeline. That's a great way to put it! And, yes, the men were the worst and yet, while the author let us see how smart the women were, she didn't make it clear to to anyone in the novel until the end. Aggravating all the way around.

I was frustrated with the lack of focus. Every character seemed to get equal time, which meant there was no specific story. A bit like untangling spaghetti from the wall. And all the female characters had smarts, all the men (or most anyway) were dolts, or worse. That’s just as unattractive as the reverse.

Great, well detailed review! Thank you so much. I will still read this book but maybe wait till it comes out in paperback rather than buy a hardcover.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. Agreed, although I still have March reading so am hoping some of that will be great.

In reply to Sarah's Bookshelves. I know! All the things I wanted were not there. Instead, the characters were largely unpleasant stereotypes.

In reply to Laila. I know! I wanted it to be quirky and light and instead it was dreary. I couldn't find the humor- it felt too real in an unpleasant way.

Bummer! I thought this looked interesting but maybe now I’ll approach with caution.
