Cocktails for Three

I bought this book years ago, maybe even when it first came out. That was when I read Sophie Kinsella's first few books and thought they were great. Then I read a couple more and realized I hated her books. So this one sat on my shelf collecting dust. This year I decided I would make a dent in my shelf. I would either get rid of the books I wasn't going to read or read them. So with that in mind I finally started this book.

And I did enjoy it. I think maybe I just don't like the Shopaholic character. There were things that drove me nuts about the characters at certain points, but that was because I could see what was coming much better than they could. No one was over the top crazy (unless they were supposed to be!) and the stories were all believable. I related most with Maggie, of course. The reluctant mother who has no idea what she's getting into and then being in way over her head.

But each character brought her own weight to the story. Despite it taking me so long to finally read and finish this book it was a quick read. And my only complaint was that not everyone got what was coming to her by the end of the book!
