Chick lit really isn't my thing. But hey, this is the start of summer. Reading is supposed to be light and fluffy, right? Besides, my library is currently out of audio books I'd like to listen to, and this one appeared on the shelves, so....Then Came You is the story of four women. None of these women are especially likable or relatable. They all have "daddy issues" and they all have difficulty relating to other people in general and other women especially. At the center of the story is India, aJennifer Weiner's, Then Came You just found itself a permanent spot on my 'Favorite Books' bookcase. I'm not referring to my 'Ordinary Books' bookcase that is in our guest bedroom- I am talking about my office bookcase that holds all of my favorite novels. Not just any book can find its way onto these shelves, but as soon as I started reading Weiner's Then Came You I realized there was something special about it.Then Came You takes place during current times. Weiner tells her story from the
Hooray! I knew I didn't not give up on Jennifer Weiner's books for a reason. After really not liking her past few stories (really since Little Earthquakes), Then Came You returns Weiner to her style of good story telling, good character development - just a good, light, fun book. Is it amazing? No. But the story is good, the characters are well developed - for the most part, with the exception of one, I really liked all of them and cared about all of their stories (the exception being Bettina, a
The thing about bad decisions is that they dont feel like bad decisions when youre making them. They feel like the obvious choice, the of-course-that-makes-sense move. They feel, somehow, inevitable.
The idea for this story was fanfrickintastic. The execution was abysmal. In Little Earthquakes, Weiner successfully alternated between multiple female narrators. This time around, not so much. The narrator (one of four) would be going about her daily life and suddenly, she'd be flashing back to her senior year of high school, or her dad's DUI when she was 14, or her mom running away to an ashram with her yogi, and then blah blah back to the present. By the time (view spoiler)[two of the
I found this book rather flat, with a lot of cookie cutter characters. The book is told from a number of perspectives, but none of the voices really come to life. The whole thing really felt contrived, as if the author said "Surrogacy and egg donations - I bet a story about that would sell!" and then wrote down every cliche about it she could think of.
I think this might have been my favorite of Jennifer Weiner's books to date - and that says a lot since Good In Bed has topped my list since it was published!This book was both complex and relatable and the characters were more real than any of her previous books. Weiner consistently writes imperfect, yet still likable, characters which makes her work more interesting. However, in this book, the characters were not only imperfect but downright unlikable at times. They did things that were far
