review 1: There was really nothing I liked about this. I picked it up because I had been reading some intense, heavy stuff and I wanted something light that I really didn't have to think about. I guess this book fit that bill. Full of shallow characters and a silly plot, repetitive and not particularly well written, it was a relief when the end came. I thought it had potential. Featuring a mixed race family whose mother was obsessed with her daughters marrying nobly (literally) and throwing in some reality TV nonsense, how could it not be funny? It had but a couple of moments where I chuckled, but more out of pity than amusement.
review 2: Instead of the show "The Bachelorette", imagine a show called "The Virgin", and that is the premise of this novel. The Harcourt famil
... morey of Chevy Chase, Maryland, consists of 4 daughters, one grandchild and the parents. One of the daughters is the "Virgin", and this novel is the story of how the family deals with this situation. The family dynamic is interesting, if not a bit predictable, but I did like the story because it takes place in my hometown. Easy read. less
