One word: boring! When I pick up a chick lit book, I can usually expect to read it in a few days, one week max... Sadly this was not the case here, as I had it in my possession for about 2 months and just could not muster up the strength to pick it up time and time again (although I was able to get through several other books in between). Long story short, Maggie messes up, tries to make it up, gets frustrated, messes up again, attempts something else, messes up again, you get the picture. Grandma Ella reminisces a lot, and does a good bit of staring. To Weiner's credit I say Rose is a humble, likable character. As is expected, all ends happily ever after.
