I look back on some of the books I've given 4 or 5 starts to, and they aren't great works of fiction like this one. But this book really dragged in the middle for me, I just didn't care as much as I wanted to about Evelyn. I did like the various themes about love, marriage, divorce, families, and celebrity life, but I just never felt compelled to pick this book back up. If I didn't have to read it by a certain time for my book club, it would've taken me a month or so to finish just because I wanted to always read something else... But I can still appreciate that there is a unique literary skill at work in Ms. Reid.
