review 1: Took me a little bit to start enjoying the read. I thought at first it was going to be a story of someone trying so hard to keep up with being perfect, that she lost most of her life...and it was. But there's something about the way the story unfolds, you feel the stress, at the same time wondering why she seems to be throwing aside love...somehow it all comes together, and ends up being a good story, with real, although completely over-the-top relationships.
review 2: I really liked this book. It's been hanging around in my unread pile for a long time, and I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting to it sooner. The story is interesting from a few different angles. The protagonist, Jeanne, is the youngest of five children (four of which are daughters) and a
... morefilm executive. Her family is close and complicated and she is a bundle of neuroses. At first, it seems like the story will be typical chick lit in which a couple (Jeanne has a serious boyfriend called Aiden) has problems and the action centers on their romantic drama. While that happens in this book, the real story is about family and work and relationships, and how hard it is to make all of them work together without pulling you apart. Everything worked for me in this book, from the story to the characters to the settings. less
