Finished on the plane from Newark to Denver.
I didn't much like this concoction of New Orleans-style voodoo religion, Jehovah's Witness doorbell ringing, and classic Baptists. It was over the top, and I was pretty disappointed in it. Most likely, I wouldn't have bothered finishing it in other circumstances, but I only had one book left for the flight home, and I didn't want to run out of book!
Ironically, the one thing I marked to write about in this book is based on how my next book starts. The next book is Jennifer Weiner's Goodnight Nobody, where a suburban mom recently moved to the Connecticut suburbs from NYC and can't make/has no friends. The part I liked in this one? When Lucy & Adel have a falling out, and Lucy feels like she can't call Adell to talk about her boyfriend, she's reminded of her grandmother's words, "To be without a friend is a serious form of poverty."
Other than that, it was pretty blah. The cover of Goodnight Nobody quotes the Philadelphia Enquirer as saying "Hilarious ... begs to be read in one sitting." And so, now that the flight attendant has cleared our trash, that's what I'll do!
