review 1: This book was simply ok, although I have to admit I have a bias against stories about characters that are comfortable in their own mediocrity. I thought that's what this book was going to be about, and that was certainly what the first half was promising, but it did improve for me in the second half when Delilah's mother shows up and Delilah is forced to really examine herself and where she's going. Not bad, but I wouldn't wildly recommend it.
review 2: I was angry with the book. It sounded interesting. I like characters around my age, and she was interested in the arts which I am as well. I loved the title and like stories about complicated mother-daughter relationships so I thought, why not? Well it was nothing short of awful. The characters were uninterest... moreing. The plot, about 10 pages in was totally predictable. The mother was a selfish annoying flake, the father dealing with the beginnings of Alzheimers pissed me off. I just didn't care. The romantic interest for Delilah, god, I pretty much skipped over every page involving that relationship. To be honest, I have never been a romance fan. And Delilah herself? Not that interesting. Not bad, but not interesting. The only character I found myself curious about was her little sister who popped up along with the mother. Even she didn't quite seem like a believable seven year old. To top it all of, the writing wasn't all that great. less
