It was such a fun read and like you I always love it when a book leaves you wanting to find out more about the characters - like what will happen next for them. Its definitely the mark of a good story.<br /><br />Steph - It was a great read! Me too! I like it when a book focuses on more than one character because I think it adds more depth to the story and definitely make for a more varied read.Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-63981080490255442352011-02-09T10:18:37.759-05:002011-02-09T10:18:37.759-05:00Sounds like a great read!

I really enjoy books that focus on more than a single character, and the idea of having three generations under one roof certainly lends itself to amusing chaos.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477615688291798393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-42518441646654857332011-02-09T07:41:34.964-05:002011-02-09T07:41:34.964-05:00I love the fact that a book with a title about a w...I love the fact that a book with a title about a woman on the verge of a nervous breakthrough is hilarious - and I'm up for any book that leaves you wanting more. I love it when a book makes me feel like it's a great book, with well written characters, but it's not often when you close the pages and you just want more.
