‘Pygmalion' meets ‘Love Story'. Was concerned this one would be complete sop, but I listened to it on my regular commute - and enjoyed it. Lou is a very likable character. I enjoyed watching her character change and develop as her horizons are widened by the events in the book.
The story is told almost entirely from Lou's point of view...but randomly, the point of view shifts to another character. It's a tad jarring (particularly in audiobook form...the change is marked by a completely different actor). I liked the additional detail given to Lou's character from the point of view of other people.
The issue and resolution in the story will give your book club plenty to discuss.
