So I have all of the Walsh Family books in paperback. I haven't read them in years, but decided to take the first two for a whirl this weekend. And now I wonder if I read this years ago and liked Claire or what? Cause Claire drives me a bit insane in this book. And when you read about how she change...
Count me underwhelmed--nay, irked. I tried this because it was recommended on The Ultimate Reading List under the chicklit section. Well, I'm beginning to suspect that with the rare exception (so far, Bridget Jones' Diary) this isn't the kind of book for me. So many of them strike the same tone--ove...

OK, this book was LONG. And it was just OK...the storyline was good but I didn't really like the constant circles that Claire talked in. And I found myself skimming...a lot...to get through.
My very first book club book, back when we had so many interested people that we had to hold two meetings. After a very "interesting" dinner session, I met a new friend and we've been friends ever since!
