This was a quick and fun read, although the whole thing was rather transparent. The theme is lies. Alice Thrift reminds me of Carrie Pilby. I think if they met each other they’d get along fabulously.

Not much else to write about this book though. Not much of a plot. Not much romance. Not much feeling or emotion felt while reading it. Still, it’s a fun book if you want to get away from it all for a few hours.

This book was atypical of Elinor Lipman – the humor wasn’t fast and furious, but then again, Alice isn’t necessarily a typical comic character. However, as she warmed up, so did I – and I ended up really liking this one!
