Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani
2.0
Meh. Fairy tale about 35-year-old professional small-town woman who should want top get married because she is getting old. Soul-searching proves she actually does. And dad is not her dad! And she has aunts and cousins and bio dad in Italy! And Elizabeth Taylor comes to town! And two suitors! And incredible friends! And an eye for talent!
This should not have taken 6 days to read, but it was too sappy for me. Not bad writing, sappy and simplistic, with way too many random offshoot storylines that go nowhere (snake handler priest? Elizabeth Taylor? beauty cream?).
I like randomly picking books off the library shelves, looking for something good I've never heard of. I picked wrong here.
