Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan
3.0

I really enjoyed Sullivan's debut novel, "Commencement," but this one felt like a novel written by someone who'd thought about it far too much. I kept wanting to write, in red ink, "show, don't tell." Also, usually I don't think it's the job of a reader to "like" the characters, but in this case, I found some of them so distasteful that they felt overdrawn and unrealistic. I hope her third novel is much better.
