I hated this book. I read Good in Bed ages ago - one of the first ARCs I ever received. I loved it; I loved In Her Shoes. I thought I'd be a Weiner fan for a long time, but have started to lose interest in the past few books, maybe growing out of her writing, maybe a declining quality in the books - which ever. Not only did I hate this book, but I hated myself for slogging through every single superficial, poorly written, contrived page. There's an audience for this kind of book and the otherI don't read "chick lit". It's just not my style. I prefer science fiction, literary fiction and mystery/thrillers. Stories about women and relationships and emotions just isn't my style. It's not that I don't like those elements in the books I read, I just don't want them to be the be-all and end-all of the story. However, Jennifer Weiner has been making waves lately by analyzing the number of stories and reviews the New York Times runs about women authors vs. male authors. So, I thought I'd
The thing about bad decisions is that they dont feel like bad decisions when youre making them. They feel like the obvious choice, the of-course-that-makes-sense move. They feel, somehow, inevitable.
I'd be lying if I said that I love everything Jennifer Weiner has written. While I consider myself quite a fan, I have found my enthusiasm for her work waning a bit with her last few books. I desperately needed a Weiner novel to redeem my faith in her as an author. When I was offered a review copy of Then Came You I was both thrilled and hesitant. I wanted to love one of her books again but was afraid I would be disappointed. Disappointed, I was not!Then Came You was absolutely fabulous! Written
The idea for this story was fanfrickintastic. The execution was abysmal. In Little Earthquakes, Weiner successfully alternated between multiple female narrators. This time around, not so much. The narrator (one of four) would be going about her daily life and suddenly, she'd be flashing back to her senior year of high school, or her dad's DUI when she was 14, or her mom running away to an ashram with her yogi, and then blah blah back to the present. By the time (view spoiler)[two of the
I almost didn't finish this book. Each chapter is written by a different character in the book. A young girl, Jules is approached by a man working for a fertility clinic to recruit her to be a donor of her eggs. Annie, a caucasian young mother, married to a black man, Frank decides to become a surrogate mother because they have purchased an older home in need of repairs. A 43 year old woman, India posing as a 38 year old marries a wealthy man in his 50's. His daughter, Bettina suspects she is
This book is okay. There was a lot that could have been done with this book, but it failed to satisfy me.The concept was brilliant---4 total strangers who become intertwined over a IVF baby. The story built steadily and logically. The characters becoming involved with each other made sense.But the climax was just there---nothing special.And the anti-climax could have been something brilliant but it didn't leave me breathless either.This is definite "chick lit". It has a lot of discussion topics
