Helpful Score: 3
I read the two books previously published by Lori Lansens and eagerly awaited the chance to try her newest book. I didn't expect a plot as unique as "The Girl's", but I guess I did expect more than what I found. The life of Mary Gooch, small town girl with a serious weight problem who married the class jock and has pretty much spent the twenty five years since then eating her way through her days. On her 25th wedding anniversary her husband leaves her after depositing $25,000 in her bank account.
The rest of the story is about Mary's search for her husband and in doing so, she begins to find herself. I felt the story was not only unrealistic, but not very believable. In fact, I had a hard time believing that this mundane novel had been written by Lori Lansens. I went back and read over other reviews and was surprised it was so well liked. I will await more wonderful stories by Lansens,
but I wouldn't recommend this one.
