Usually I love sneaking chick lit into my reading time to the point that when Margie asks what I'm reading I always share the title of the other book on my plate. She knows I hide this from her. I was excited to get this book, chick lit that I had to read for book club. A book I could boldly claim I loved.
I expect these books to be predictable, simple, quick to read and forgettable.
The First Husband by Laura Dave didn't do it for me. Oh sure, it had the requisite elements but I couldn't get interested or connect with any of the people in the book. I had no desire to spend a Saturday afternoon fluff reading. It was, just, well, meh. So there, Margie was right this time, even without reading the book!
We're discussing The First Husband over at Blogher. I see they've mined the only nugget that was memorable from the book and we're asked who would the opposite of you be?
