The Godmother was okay. It could have been a lot better. I think if Ms. Adams had a better editor it would have been better. There were several obvious spelling mistakes and it did not have to be over 400 pages. It was way too long. I was hooked after the first few chapters, although, it is a little difficult to keep up with all of Tessa's friends in the beginning of the book. I loved it until 3/4 of the way through of the book then I got bored and then very sad. Who in the world has several friends with very, very serious problems? I'm taking drugs, abusive spouses/parents, infidelity, wayward children and fertility issues. It just made me depressed. Tessa must attract drama where ever she goes. And yes, we get it - she is way too involved in her friends' lives and does not focus on her own - that point was beat into me with a stick! I got it. If Ms. Adams had got on with the story about 75 pages could have been cut and it would have been a better book. I gave The Godmother 3 stars - it was just okay.
