The Woman at the Edge of Town by Georgette Kaplan
3.0
3.5 for me.
Im surprised by how much I enjoyed the humor here. Few authors really get to my funny bone and Kaplan did effortlessly. But I dont think I'd re-read this. I liked Sarah and Nina together. They had quite the chemistry and I liked their interactions but their attraction felt too instantaneous for me. Or maybe I just like my slow burn angsty romance too much?
I was also pretty disappointed with the treatment of the other characters. I thought there would be more to them(even that basement!). The first 1/3(?) of the book spent some time on Sarah's friends and then they were dropped about halfway through. The bf thing was dealt with too conveniently(but I dont really care about him so...).
Overall, it was easy to read and turn off my brain to. But there were times when I was expecting more from the story or a particular revelation and it just fell flat. I would find something intriguing but then I'd end up going "Eh, thats it?" The emotional peaks of the story didnt quite do it for me because I wasnt too invested in any of the characters.
