Re: the audiobook. Do the British really think US Southerners talk like Huckle? Even his name is ridiculous. I’ve grown up in the south & I’ve never met someone who is that much of a hick except on television. And her Jewish character is an awful stereotype. The parents & husband are seen as avaricious. Kinda racist, just sayin’.
The story is ok. I enjoyed it well enough. I’ve gotta say, not a fan of cheating. One of the main storylines is a character that cheats & doesn’t know who fathered her baby. The husband is clueless, & even though we’re supposed to dislike Reuben, he was very sweet to his wife. When he was made aware how upset his wife was when he missed his anniversary, he cut his business short & came right home—to his wife who had just got hot & heavy with a stripper.
Polly was allowing herself to be pulled in several different directions, but it was for a good cause & I don’t know if I would have done differently. Her fiancé is feeling neglected. He could have gone with her to Reuben’s house?
The story of Huckle & Polly was a good one. I could relate & feel it wrapped up nicely.
