“Really good book with fantastic characters--anyone who has lived in suburbia will find someone they know in them (or secretly relate to someone personally). One of my favorite scenes, so telling of educated-SAHM life, is the very beginning with all the mothers on the playground who can't remember the names of the movies they've seen.
The only thing keeping me from giving this book four stars is the ending. It seemed very rushed and slapped together, like Perrota just didn't know how to end the book. The movie ending was FANTASTIC, though.”
