“Maybe that's what we look for in the people we love, the spark of unhappiness we think we know how to extinguish.”

Quick, snappy, sarcastic, and very very 90’s.

This was fine, I skimmed it in a few hours, I don’t know. Everyone was kind of a crappy person, which is one of my least favorite types of books. Didn’t really go into any depth with any characters.

Again, I'm afraid that I saw the movie first. (dozens of times, at that. I kind of love that movie.)
This is a short novel, and was super fun to read. I devoured it in a day. Perrotta is a master of the small-town scandals erupting from small-town frustrations.
