Behind Every Good Man by Sara Goodman Confino

5.0

I absolutely love Sara Goodman Confino. Her books never disappoint. Her characters are always the best. I’m so glad I stumbled across her first book when I did and randomly decided to give it a chance just because it was there. I love how this book brought in some characters from a previous book as well- a subtle connection that is fun surprise if you have read her previous books but not at all necessary to know to enjoy the story. 

My commentary from while reading:

• 25% I’m listening to this book and my husband keeps interrupting me with this or that. “I have a tax form that I need you to file. I need a thank you card for a birthday gift someone gave me. Where do we keep the pie pans….” Etc. The comparison between the incompetence of men in this book back in the 60s and the competence of real men today is very obvious. They haven’t changed. They cannot do anything right without a woman organizing the way. No wonder secretaries were invented and are so often women- men in these jobs can’t do anything for themselves. 
  41% OMG! It’s the same girl from an earlier book! I love when there are connections like this
  64% “Men liked to feel independent even if you couldn’t trust them to get the details right.”
