This was my second Elizabeth Berg novel, my first having been Once Upon a Time There Was You. While I did enjoy reading this one, I was surprised at the level and frequency of profanity in comparison to Once Upon a Time There Was You. I think had that been toned down a bit, …more I would have enjoyed the book more and found the characters more endearing. I'm not sure which book is more reflective of the "norm" for Elizabeth Berg and I do intend to read more of her novels; I will likely read them all if I find the majority to be more in line with Once Upon a Time There Was You.

I agree with the statement in the review by Sidney Frost regarding more follow-up on the characters before the book ended. The ending seemed almost abrupt, but wasn't unsatisfying.

Overall, I found pleasure in the book and would recommend it to others. I expect to find myself becoming a fan of Elizabeth Berg. (less)
