review 1: I liked this book. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars because 3 just seems a smidge too low. I liked the characters and found their interactions interesting and thought-provoking. What keeps it below 4-stars for me is the timeline. I did not like at all the jumping around and playing fast and loose with time. Here we are 6 months forward, now we're back 7. I had a hard time keeping track of when things were happening. I also had a bit of a hard time keeping up with who was who - all the husbands, kids, etc. were a bit confusing. But all in all I looked forward to reading it and found it enjoyable.
review 2: This was a book about disenchanted 40 year old women living in Manhattan trying to rewrite their story so they get the happy ending they missed out on the fir... morest time. Or at least don't end up in a mental institution after suffering from a public (school yard) nervous breakdown. It was a decent book but I thought the author was trying too hard to sound cute and/or edgy and the characters' cavalier attitude toward infidelity was off-putting. It also really annoyed me that the copy editor didn't correct the English author's English words. If you're portraying American women living in Manhattan, they don't use words like lift instead of elevator or queue instead of line. And by the way, why can't wealthy Manhattanites have babies made out of their own genetic material? What's with the donor egg/sperm? less
