review 1: This book is very well written, a book about two sisters, trying to find love and themselves in all kinds of ways. I just really had a hard time connecting with this book. There are some funny parts, many keen observations but the writer should have trusted her readers to get it a little more. At times I felt I was being force fed some of these same observations, thoughts. I also at times found these sisters to be very selfish and self involved, which I will admit is my least favorite type of person.
review 2: I read this in two days in spite of not wanting it to end. Normally I don't read aloud passages to my husband but there were several heartrending and eloquent passages. ("Fine," he'd said, and the syllable was deep with fury and ringing with unalloyed j... moreoy. He had it at last: permission to leave.") I laughed and I cried. This is a novel to be savoured. Pearls of wisdom kept cropping up in the midst of ludicrousness. Isn't that how life is most of the time? Scott is no stranger to absurdity yet somehow she manages time and time again to "buck up" and find meaning. Buy this book. You won't be sorry. less
