shereadstales's review against another edition

Solid 2.5/5. I'm not big on first-person narration, and there was a lot of telling rather than showing. I did like the characters, however, and wanted to know how things turned out for them. I tend to gravitate toward stories with older women, and I appreciated that both Rosie and Jean were well into adulthood. The melodrama is what I live for (in books, if not in my real life - no thanks!), and there was plenty to go around. A nice distraction if you're looking for a quick read. I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it enough to think it was time spent well enough.
