This book started out so strongly. I was in love with it. But halfway through, my love turned a bit sour, as characters started doing really stupid things to mess up their lives. Sometimes things seem too absurd and just serve to present obstacles for the characters to overcome - you know? Anyway, I still love Mendelson's style, I love reading about New Yorkers, and in the end it all worked out pretty well.

Fun novel about intertwined families and lives who live on the Upper West Side. There are some quirky characters blended with more straight laced ones.

I liked this story, but not quite enough to read the other two titles in the trilogy. It was kind of a soap opera of the upper middle class in NYC.
